Anyone done the AJT black kit with red screws?

Like below for example but with red screws? If so do you like it and have any pics?

thanks!!

 

Yes sir. Probably would have done just black of I could do it over again, but it looks good.

 

Be very, very careful when installing that kit. If you watch the AJT videos it would seem like a drop-in upgrade.

This is how the install actually goes, to a tee:

I looked only at AJT and started drilling - oopsie! Went right through the entire bezel. Figured WTH, I'll just drill out the rest since I'm throwing away the OEM bezels anway. Zzzzt, zzzzzt, whiiirrrrr.... the rest of the plastic nubbies were out. Oh crap! They don't all line up in the middle of the bezel! I'd drilled through the edges of the console this time. Spent a couple hours applying JB weld to patch up the missing material. Several holes on the underside need to be either patched with epoxy anyway or you must otherwise ensure that the AJT bezel aligns exactly to cover there. Little marging for error - see the 'daylight' issue in the video above.

It turned out fine, looks great, no one knows the trouble I went through.

For your red screw question, just look on youtube or google for pics. There are many examples. But it's the least of your worries.

 

The red doesnt look terrible... but maybe the red screws with black trim instead?

 

The screws looks good. I don’t love the red rings and shifter trim though.

By the way, I had no issues at all doing the install based on AJT’s videos. A little time consuming, but very easy, and I didn’t mess anything up at all. Most of the time was spent on the ac knobs. The cup holder part was maybe a ten minute job. I took the whole section out and did it in my kitchen.

 

Looks good Jim...

Do you like it or have you considered going black screws at all?

 

I like the red, the black would just blend in. I wanted the red accent.

 

What Jim said....

 

I like mine, nice contrast compare to just all black. The screws are a bit on the pink side, had to paint mine.

Here you go…fresh/current picture


I did have the red AC trim too, but decided it was too much. I’ve got the auto AC so can’t do the screws on my knobs.

 

Digging the shifter....looks good.
