Default One bad decision? Need Vote.
I wanted to change the appearance of my interior so I did a little cosmetics work.
I like how the interior turned out except for the shift ****. I had the shift **** Hydrodipped, I wanted it on the exterme side, but I think it was a fail? Cell phone picture is a litte grainy.Name: Drivers side interior.jpg Views: 921 Size: 2.44 MB

Vote: Flames? or Red design, to match center console?

Thanks for the input in advance, be kind.

I like when the shift **** matches the leather and stiching of the shift boot and center console lid.

Shift **** is cool , but doesn't seem to go with the rest of the interior. Maybe if the flames had more red?

It's not what I would do, but tip of hat for originality!

The interior looks good, but to me the shift **** is a bit out of place. I would have gone with a red **** with flames if that is the look you were after (instead of having a yellow background). Just my opinion though - you're the one that has to really like it.

The yellow just doesn't work with the theme of your interior.

Just make it the same red color, painted, or covered in black stitched leather. Flames are way too tacky.

Thanks for the input, I liked it when I picked it up but I knew that it wasn't going to work due to the color.
Dropping it off today for a diffrent Hydrographic dip? Wait and see what happens next?

Shift **** on it's own looks good but with that interior it's just out of place.
If it were me Id change it but at the end of the day it's your car and if you like it, then that's all that matters.
