Thinking about adding the bezel in the bottom picture. thoughts on it? Too much red?
Just installed the Console Cushion, debating on the bezel from DD Mods with a touchscreen, Kenwood.

I think your car looks better with the red-black combination. Yeah, too much red for me.

If the bezel has the black/red combo as it appears to in the pic, I think it would be OK. Another option would be to have it covered in black leather with red stitching.

If it's one just like in the picture then I think it would be fine. It looks like the pattern will flow well with the cover you have. I'm a more subtle type person so I would be leaning towards the black with red stitching though. Can't loose either way.
