Some/Most of y'all know I accented my interior red...a while ago I did even more, and in person it looks really good. When I uploaded the picture onto my computer, it looked so stupid tho! Most people like it too...ANYWAY, I'm debating on whether or not to change the wood trip that runs along the doors and straight across the dash. I know some people sanded it down and painted it silver...i was thinking maybe ALSO doing it red, maybe black...I'm not sure. I'd like your opinion on what I should do with that Wood Grain Stuff...not your opinion on how stupid you think the red accenting looks :roll:

thanks in advance....here's a pic of the interior as it is now:

Go for it. The wood looks too conservative next to the red.

I'm not too fond of it, it doesn't look right; I suppose it's the pictures. But to get rid of the wood, red would be overkill- definitley go with the black!

I have an idea. Try to color match all the red to the exterior. Do the wood in the same color. Might not look too bad with the tan. The wood is definitely not the direction you're going though man. The tan interior is a tough thing to work with.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

Its a good idea but the color red you used is making it an eye sore. Try and find a nicer red

agree with Yanks, its a pretty oppressive red. Maybe something a little richer and deeper in tone. But yes, do the wood part and the dash too for consistency
