The lack of responses might be saying something... It is a bit too bright for me, but that's just my opinion.

I like the contrast between red and black, much like Spirit R Recaros in a black interior, but I think in this case your plastics may be a bit too bright, or possibly an overkill on the red.

For example: A red gauge cluster (FEED (good luck) or Speedhut), along with upgraded leather or Alcantara with red stitching would compliment a black interior nicely. Icing on the cake would be Spirit R seats, if you got the cash.

Either way, I am sure the quality of work you put in on this stands out in person.

I am jealous of those that have black interiors...

Mike

I remember the first time I saw the body-color painted plastics I loved it—its definitely less subtle than stock. Maybe go back to a black steering wheel shroud? That seems over the top.

Did you use the Dupli- color interior paint. It's a bit bright but looks unique. I'm currently reprinting my interior glossy black
