Default installed painted console...

didn't install the pods (they make it look over-done imo) and this look seems more balanced. the e-brake button, shifter and door buttons already match nicely. here are some before and afters...









got 'um for a nice discount plus a $50 gm rebate from fichtner.

That looks good. It goes very well with the titanium interior.

IMHO that is the best looking color-matched console I have seen. All the other color-matched colors seem too bright...again IMHO. You're right...it matches nicely with the door buttons and shifter. Very

You certainly need to install the pods. Add some two-tone seats and you're good to go!
