Default Contemplating 2 Interior Upgrades - Feedback Request

Forum Folks,

I have a 2016 2LT Stingray in Corvette Racing Yellow, and I am contemplating a couple upgrades for the interior. I am wanting to upgrade to a yellow painted center console from RPI. Second, I am wanting to upgrade to yellow shift paddles from either GM Parts Direct or Trunkmonkeyparts.

Just wondering if anyone out there has tried any of these items from these venders. If so, what was your experience(s).

Thanks,
Dave

It'll look sharp! The only thing I've read about here is that it can take RPI a really long time to deliver painted parts. I say go for it!

I wouldn't. Keep the aluminum- it looks better. That looks kind of ricey to me, and I'm usually one that loves stuff like this. The brushed aluminum looks so much better. That makes me think it was done with a rattle can, regardless of how good the paint quality is.

At first glance I like both. I did order and install paddles (red, in my case) from Trunk Monkey. Like the yellow center console, but I would be a little nervous about scratching. But it's such a light color maybe they would not show much.
