10 4. I like the factory trim too, and although I prefer the look of the little sport mirrors, they're about useless on the road.

Re: Project Platinum C10

I used a kit from LMC for the seat. Are you staying with the bench, stock? I kinda wish I had used a vinyl instead of the factory style for the Silverado. My wife loves the material, but me, not so much.

I'm actually going to get custom interior done from a forum member crsweet91. I think I'm gonna do vinyl/cloth on my seat. Planning on having my panels and dash wrapped also. Check out his work. http://s1259.photobucket.com/user/SweetFabCo/profile/

Connor looks like he does pretty good work. I have inquired myself about doing some work on mine when the time comes.

Man I've been busy and hadn't had time to get by there. Just dropped off my truck at the paint shop to be wet sanded and buffed. Hopefully it doesn't take 3 months to get back.....lol

Re: Project Platinum C10

Just thought I would share this. I had saved the pic of the setup behind the seat as I might want to try and do this to mine. The interior looks like it is done in the two tone as well. Its looks good but I really like the sub setup. I love the truck though. Those gray trucks always get my attention. Anyways here it is.

Nice truck...I've been thinking about eventually adding a nice system to my truck. I've thought about trying to build a cool looking fiberglass box. I might try that first and if I can't succeed at that I'll resort back to this setup. Thanks for sharing Roy.

Re: Project Platinum C10

Here are my door panels. The gray looks like it's blue in some pics but I think it might have been the flash causing this. Not sure. I'll try and get better pics soon.

You had Jodeez do the interior work for you? Looks really nice! After the motor swap I'm taking my seat to him. He always has nice cars up there
