Default millenium yellow

I have black interior in my yellow 2000 but think there is too much black. Would black and gray go with it. Just asking

Gray would be nice, but two tone is very easy to overdo and look tacky.

I also think there's too much black expanse in my Millennium Yellow car. I've done a couple of small things (painted door bezels, airbag letters) to try and freshen it up a little, but everything else I see comes across as too much.

I hydrodipped the center console and door handle bezels in carbon fiber. I have a steering wheel cover in yellow and black that helps to break it up. Right now I am very happy with it.

I have the Oak in my interior which kind of makes it a two tone based on the tan and black. I don't feel it is too much at all and prefer it to one single color. Not sure how gray would look but I do like the tan.

I got a yellow-accented C5 flag decal for my steering wheel and new seat covers with some yellow striping and stitching. It livened up the interior.

I went with yellow stitching and accents, subtle but classy looking in my humble opinion.

I think the only way to pull off the yellow exterior is to do the black interior. I don’t care for the 2 tone on that color, either black/red or black Yellow. Makes it look a bit ricer in my opinion.

I've never been a fan of black interior.

This is what I did to mine. I added yellow seatbelts as well, but they are hard to see in these pics.

The steering wheel is a C6 steering wheel that was modified by RFE Design, a supporting vendor. I have a thread on how I installed it here. The steering wheel radio and phone controls do not work yet; that is still a work in progress.
