Tell me if you like my interior Mod

I hope it works. (first time trying to post a picture)
if it does not work, maybe i can e-mail the pictures to someone
and they can host it for me.

Some of us, hate how the navigatin joystick does not light up at night

Basically I used "Blue" and "Green" GLOW paint on a few interior places.

I used the Blue on the Navigation Joystick,
and the green on the small silver pieces on the vents (where the air comes out)
the storage tray pieces, and on the middle storage compartment too.

The green is a 90 % match to the interior stock colors, and the blue
is a 75% match.

The glow lasts a while, but looses its glow, until its recharged.

Pics are small... But you can kinda see... Cool idea, but as the need recharged... Their function is somewhat called into question...

The Blue looks almost like white paint in the daytime.
the Green looks like a very faint white with a touch of yellow.

i'll take some pictures of the paint bottles during the day and night.
Besides, I can always take the paint off anytime I want.

It looks good at night.

no doubt its a good idea...i hope that acura would stress this in their future modles that other things need to be lit up....there are also certain spots in the car that ard hard to fine when not lit up like the heated mirrors buttons and other little things that annoy me....it would have been cool if u did a blue ring around the navigation joystick and made the concave part of the joystick in the center green so it would have been like a button....just me

Um ... it's cool in the dark... but I wonder what it would look like in the daylight... would it look like it was painted? Dunno... kinda undecided on what I think.

It's lighted only when the headlights are on, but the only time I need to find the switch is after I shut off the car.

is it that hard to open the trunk before you turn off the lights? you do know the lights go off automatically if you leave them on

Well, I don't know about you, but the way I do it is, turn off my car, open the door, then open the trunk. I can't see the trunk release button without opening my door.

I love the comfort of my TL that I don't find the need to exit my car in 15 seconds.

That's why I'd like to know where to get some of this glow stuff.
