I am wanting to put some lettering in the airbag cover, I have a Torch Red vert, with the Firethorn red interior. Will the torch red lettering look ok with the firethorn red interoir? Pics?

Thanks

IMO, it will clash. The TR is so much brighter than the Firethorn. If you can find some gold vinyl lettering, it might look better.

Thanks, I thought it would clash too, thanks. The black lettering is not going to be noticeable even, is it?

I belive gold letters will look very rich with your red interoir, whereas, black will be very monochromatic.

If you allready have a rear bumper lettering kit, I would use the same color for the dash to keep the color scheme going .

I don't have any rear bumper lettering, I don't really think I want any, but I have considered some black lettering on the license cover.

I suck at matching and design stuff

Ok, how about white lettering on the air bag covering?
