Exclamation I need everyones opinion

I currently have my center console custom painted (really awesome job) a dark red that I did myself. I bondo'd over the old cupholders and all the little bumps and made them all smooth, so it looks just like it was fiberglassed. Now that I plan on getting silver or hyper silver mesh 19" rims I want to repaint it. Im not going with a red theme anymore. Im gonna go with a black/silver/carbonfiber theme. Which color would look better if I repainted my center console????

-A HIGH METALIC SILVER
-A NICE METALIC BLACK


Any other ideas are great too...thanks in advance!

That's the first time I've seen a center console painted on a otherwise 100% bone stock interior. It looks really really out of place painted with nothing else done.

You don't even have pedal covers man!

Not to change the subject or anything but when did the resale value of used Z's drop below 10 grand?

Silver. But regardless of color, that's way too much of one color in one place. You should have left the bezel around the shifter in the aluminum finish. If you do it silver, I'd at least do that part in black.

With that red console it looks like there should be a ho in the passenger seat. Your taste is not exactly matching up here too well, so what we think on any future color schemes is bound to seem very bland to you.

well i was gonna add alot more too it, but then i decided on a more conservative color scheme. I think if i go with silver and add the carbon fiber accents it will look really good.

Looks like you blew your LOAD on the center of the drivers seat.

I think it looks good that way it is. Some pedals and maybe a few more read accents would help, but very good job painting the console.
