I recieved my second order today from Dixie Monte Carlo. The first order I placed with them, the trim pieces were the wrong shade of carmine red. This time I ordered a new rear package tray with the mesh speaker holes in carmine red. The tray is good qaulity, but arrived in two differant shades of carmine red. So when placed in the car you end up with the interior looking like a calico cat. You can see the differant shades of red in photo's. Has anyone else run into a similar issue with Dixie Monte Carlo?

On a good note, the paint that I ordered with my second order was the correct shade of carmine red. The application went on smoothly and looks great.

I wouldn't be too harsh on Dixie. Regardless of where you get them, anytime you order interior parts that have to be painted or dyed you should get them done all at once to ensure they have a reasonably good color match. On a separate note, you'd be surprised how much color difference there is between the OEM interior parts in my car...

No not trying to bad mouth them, just pointing out the obvious. Started today painting all the interior plastics can't handle the differant shades of red anymore. Got passenger side done already,came out awsome. the pint size I got will actually be enought to do the car. Paint was a dead match very happy about that. This is before I painted.
