paitning be sure to get a additive for plastic no matter what you do... plastic is hard to paint

it can be several things. usualy its like a primer that goes on before paint. sometimes there an adhesion promoter additive you mix with paint.

wrap it them with speaker cloth. Looks WAY better and really imitates newer cars with pillar airbags. I'd post a better pic but work with me, I have no car right now. lol
