I've read on here about other people having the same problems. Maybe it's the heat and humidity down here. idk. either way it's a lot better with this paint, at least in my case lol.

...shame on you though. thinking I was talking about some blue interior rice **** hahaha

Is yours kinda sticky too?
I thought something was wrong with my old cg but this one was the same way. Like hair and fuz and **** would get stuck to it.

im so glad you brought this up!!! the little cubby hole beneath the head unit, mine was super sticky! i had no idea why bc i never spill anything or leave anything wet down there, only receipts and paper, maybe sunglasses..
any way, i took it out the other day and cleaned it with this stuff called Krud Kutter and a sponge, took WAY longer than i had expected it to take but its smooth and tack free now.
I live in FL so maybe it is the hot humid weather doing it. not sure.

I usually hate "manual lookalike swaps" but yours looks nice. what shift boot is that?

and yeah it pissed me off so bad, on both cars. ****ing receipts and little things would get stuck there. I got my dad to dye it at his work with my old cg, but with the new one i wanted to try duplicolor "fabric and vinyl" paint in flat black, its almost identical to the body shop dye. It's held up VERY well over the year, i wouldn't be surprised if it lasted the life of the piece to be honest. But if not, one respray every like 2 years isn't a bad deal. haha

You should try the paint. Aside from fixing the stickiness, it also looks better in my opinion. It is a little darker than the oem plastic there, so it makes you feel like it's newer. It has a nice texture to it, too. If i had to get another 6thgen that would be the first thing I did. lol
