What did you do with the carbon fiber trim? Let me know if you want to sell.

That’s a pass for me. Did you consider brushed aluminum trim? Think that would have contrasted nicely with the black and picked up the silver deviated stitching to boot!

So nice to have the choices we all do, so we can please ourselves and not someone else....stick with the red.

Going to keep it as I’ll go back to carbon fiber when I get tired of the red.

I did not as I wanted some zip in the interior. Good suggestion though.

I tested two suggestions: ditch the red shift **** and ditch the red key. I agree this looks better. Snappy but a little more subdued, assuming red trim can be described as subdued, plus no clown nose

I think I like the black **** and black key better.

You should think about upgrading your pedals. You have such a nice interior, and upgraded pedals would be icing on cake. Check out SRP pedals.

Same here. I think the red trim in the dash makes it a bit too much - contrast wise.
But door insert, shift ****, starter actually look real good by themselves.
again this is all so subjective personal preference. As long as the OP loves it its all that counts.

Pedals are on my list of things I want to do. Would you mind sharing a picture of your pedals? and how do they attach? Thanks

I sometimes reach this opinion myself. However I'm going to give a try for a while and see where it leads me, as in back to carbon fiber

hey I have never removed trim before - I guess it cant be that hard as long as I get the trim tools and don't break any tabs. Been thinking about trying some options myself and thx to you I think I will take my first dip

I have the unusual urge to shoot pool, I am not sure why. 7 ball corner pocket! In all seriousness I like it. You're having some fun with your car and that what these things are, fun.

That looks great! I agree with the comments about the shift **** - too much red there, looks like Rudolph. And I like ditching the key, too.
