Yellow does seem out of place, but if you like it, then 
My custom interior:

It looks out of place unlike the other blue one that was posted. Seems like it's clashing together and doesn't flow very well. The yellow is hideous and throws it off even more it reminds me of somethig a 16yr old would have in his Honda after going to Pepboys. You need to make it all work like this pic that was posted.

The main thing is it is your car and if you like it that is all that matters.
I think it is a little to busy with all of the colors you have going on. The door panel alone has four different colors, the black panel, the blue handle trim the yellow pull and the red reflector. But as I first staded if you like it that is the bottom line.

I was gonna do a light gray on the boots but couldn't find any that were ready to ship to me and i already had the yellow door pulls, yeah the yellow is a huge contrast to the blue but it's done and i doubt i'll pull it apart again for chance of scratching a $700.00 paint job, i may pull the door handle pulls and go to gray what do you guys think of that would it make it more subtle? the floor matts are gray!

Calm down pops. I'm not the one that posted a pic of my mismatched color interior on the internet and expect everyone to say wow that looks awesome.What did you expect was going to happen in a open forum?You didn't want it to flow huh? Well you did an AWESOME job on that. Like others have said it doesn't flow well and it doesn't look cool and some say the other. I don't have to drive it, you do and if you like it who cares what someone says on the internet. You need to get thicker skin or better meds.

Blew By....
I know how you feel about the critics, some can be a bit too "straight" with their opinions. But, as said, if you post something on any forum, one needs to be prepared for the worst and not let people get to you.
I admit, I'm not a fan of yellow anything...perhaps a by-product of being around school buses for 26 years!! But still not a fan....that's just me. In thinking about other color options, there are limited resources for colors. Since you like contrast, what about red?? Look at your photos....see the red door reflectors, the red in the gauges, the carpet insignias, the seat belt latch etc?? All those things would tie in together with your red accents. And it should look pretty cool with the beautiful blue you've done.
Just a thought. Congrats on what you've done....it's way more than I've accomplished on mine to date!

Yeah not trying to bash on you blew, but I think it'd look a lot better if you continue with it. Do the doors, seats and glove box? Just an idea. I've been contemplating doing one of the shark skins (I think that's the name of it) kits for awhile now.

No need to get excited, You wanted opinions and you got them. As others have said it is your car and do as you like, That doesn't mean everyone else has to like it. You make your car payment and you are the one that has to like it not us.
Here are a couple of my not so perfect interior.

Also as most of us have stated, it is your car do as you please. I will admit what you have done to the interior looks great with the one exception of the yellow but that is only my opinion. As of right now my interior is a Plain Jane stock black with the exception of the passenger’s air bag letters and the C5 logo on the steering wheel. I do plan on adding a few custom touches in red to tie the interior to the Torch Red exterior, but that is about it.
Here is mine.
