interior color suggestions

i want to recolor my plastic pannels on my car. the dash and seats are now black and my roll cage is a dark metallic graphite with the custom fiberglass being candy red.

i was thinking of painting the plastic pannels a graphite color to accent the cage and make the main points like the dash, seats and entertainment stand out.

what do you think? they are currently med gray which makes 4 colors for the interior a bit much however the carpet is a medium gray as well and i really don't feel like replacing new carpet.

I would make the panels the graphite color also.. as for the carpet.. either get it dyed.. or start saving for some new carpet.. at least you will first elimate one off color.

IMHO..I think making the plastic match rollbar,would draw more attention to the Audio/amps and everything...which is a good thing...I'd leave carpet alone
BTW,are you gonna have your car in Autorama this year?
I have a few pic's from last year,I took them b4 I even knew of this website,It's a small world!!
Your car impress's the hell out of me...VERY nicely done,cant imagine what you have going now!

Black panels, black carpet, and you should be good to go.

i agree with all black, I converted mine from camel tan to black. I think black looks best in 3rdgens but it's all about what you like.

WhatI think might look good is keep most of it black but change the head liner, sailpanels, sunvisors, and the carpet to gray to go with the cage. But thats my opinion.
