I think brushed aluminum gauge trim rings would make a huge difference

You can see them in my photos earlier. They are totally worth it!

I have an oem black leather instrument pod (housing), or whatever it's called, available if anyone wants to carry the black/grey contrast up the dash some more. It looks good combined with a black steering wheel.

I have been suprised about how many leather dashes and door panels are available on ebay for good prices. Looks like you have been transforming your grey interior with black parts and carbon fiber as well. Love to see a few more pictures if you want to post!

Nothing better than finding parts on RL to complete projects. Post a picture.

Couple of pics below. The instrument pod has the flasher switch with rosette, and the inner gauge cover that is lightly sparkled off gray.

Another thing that goes well with a black accent theme is changing the key and flasher rosettes to black along with the speaker covers to black.

Nothing better than used leather parts in great condition from a fellow 996 owner. Someone will have an interest!

My more budget friendly version of accents to graphite grey (compared to carbon fiber at least) was swapping in as much granite grey (non-soft touch paint) trim as possible.
