Like SuperBuick, he pulled his off and painted it to match whatever color he wanted. You could do that or make some replacement pieces yourself if you know someone in the trade. - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your best bet would be painting it, I doubt there is aftermarket trim and I think all '88 regals came with wood trim. :worship: I can :read:.

godofthunder Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Did those come with real wood, or plastic wood trim? Just Currious I really think that painting would be a way to go. I personally really havent ever saw interior trim stuff like you are talking about, and if anything, it would just be painted anyways. Also, what about stuff from other Regals? For example, my moms 91 Lumina had black-wood like trip, but ive seen a bunch of other stock colors too. And it may not really looks all to ricey at all. While Im not into painting the interior, unless to make it black to match the rest, you can aviod that. For example, paint them body color, or beter yet, a neutral color, like black or white. Or, you could play off the interior of your car, too. As for the Carbon, I dont think so. But maybe you could do somthing with metal, if you wanted to make your own.

Brian P Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Ive seen that vinyl decal thing with carbon fiber print, it comes in a roll that you'd apply to the trim, then cut the vinyl to shape with an exacto knife or something similar.

hazmatic Posted May 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 i beilve it is plastic not real wood but u say paint them body color i think that will look wicked ricey since muh car is red wit a grey interior i thought bout black but maybe ill look into makin somethin outa metal n dathe carbon fiba roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimp19 Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Yeah red would look pretty ricey. I think black would look pretty good however, I cant really picture how it would look in a regal cause I dont own one. If you think carbon fiber would look better then go for it.

Robby1870 Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 My vote is paint them black. Thanks for typing so I can read it. Robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmatic Posted May 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 if im to paint the wood black n the trim around the wood trim n around the vents n the wood it self red would that look goor or 2 ricey or maybe a white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godofthunder Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 What color are they now, and whats the rest of the interior like? Me personally, if its dark, stay dark. I have the dark graphite and black interior on my 96 CS. IF I were to paint anything, it would stay dark. I do like the Vinal (sp) idea. That should work out really nice. Again, I woudl think that the vents and stuff are already black, so just keep them dark IMHO. Jon PS - Thanks for typing with more clarity. It helps your appearance, and helps us understand you 10x beter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godofthunder Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 I really cant understand what you are saying withthat, id have to see a picture really. Sorry. But I was thinking, while im not into it, that vinal idea could look REALLY nice if someone took their time at it Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian P Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Do the vinyl thing- I know the Regal dash wood pieces are relatively flat, so it'll be straightforward. Heck, you can even use black contact paper, it will hold up better than paint will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmatic Posted May 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 cool i think i will def look into that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89BuickRegalGS Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 i painted my 89 regals dash black, plus all the other wood trim in the car... it loooked good when fresh, i even clear coated it, but a couple months later, it got scratched to shit from stuff rubbing against it (keys, etc) i would try vinyl... but the black looks really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
