Default Input Needed on Interior Choices

I recently purchased the steering wheel pictured below. I plan to have the center section of my seats redone in matching red leather. I have also ordered carbon fiber parts to replace my silver steering wheel trim as well as the shifter piece, ebrake button and door buttons on both doors. My question is what to do with the shifter and ebake boot/handles. My first thought was to only replace the shift **** and e-brake handle with red. Now I am thinking maybe the boots as well. If I do the boots I want all red, but do I want red stitching or black to match the steering wheel? Thank you for your input.

I've always liked the 2-tone look. The question becomes which way to do the 2-tone?


(Thanks to Zpirate for the pics)


In this example I would prefer to reverse the red/ebony on the e-brake handle, shift **** and both boots, so the red faced the driver/passenger rather the dash. All personal preference, just offering an example.
