Wow! That's wild! I know you didn't ask but if it was mine, I would not paint the ribs on the dash black. They add some nice texture to the bright green dash but painting them a different color would make the dash look very busy and cluttered again, which is what I thought you were trying to get away from. With the upholstery, the diamond plate, and all the other eye-catching stuff going on there I think it would be too much. But, then again, it's not my car......have fun with it!
