Hmm, black cube or silver cube interior trim...

[az3579]

Currently my car has a black alcantara interior with black cube trim. I personally am a huge fan of contrast, and emphasize this with my exterior (black trim, ambers on red to me works better than clears, angel eyes, yellow fogs). But, my interior is... blaaaaaahh.

I'm thinking of sprucing it up with the silver cube trim, or at least wrap it in something silver. The options for the trim are as follows (please vote on the poll):

* Keep black cube trim
-- Benefits: Won't have to replace anything or spend any money; it still looks awesome
-- Disadvantages: Center trim piece has broken tab, so it's loose; no contrast with the black dash; everything else in the interior is black
* Get silver cube trim
-- Benefits: CONTRAST!; cheaper pedal set [the set I want is cheaper in silver than in black]
-- Disadvantages: Have to buy a set, which is $$; Silver on black is good, but silver doesn't really go with the exterior all that well
* Wrap existing trim
-- Benefits: cheaper than new set of trim; can reverse at any time or change
-- Disadvantages: I'm horrible at doing it and refuse to pay anyone to do it; time consuming to do; sometimes look cheap
* Silver-sharpie
-- Benefits: It'll be very unique, and I'm comfortable doing it; FREE if I do it over my trim
-- Disadvantages: I'll be ruining my trim; if I don't want to ruin my trim, I have to buy another set in black; time consuming


Please vote and post your opinionz...

Tough call. Gotta think about this one a bit...

If it were me I would keep the black trim because I don't care for contrast and like my black on black on black car.. But it seems to me that you really wanna do the silver trim. If that's the case, I voted buy the silver trim and do it right the first time and not take a shortcut. This is something you will look at constantly as you enjoy your car, more-so than anything that you will do to your exterior. Take the time to save up and you won't regret it.

Voted for swap.

I voted for keeping it as it is. Personally that is what I would do, I like the way the interior is all black, from the carpet to the headliner. Mine is the same way

That's just me though.

Eli's silver cube looks AWESOME! But I think it also matches the exterior quite well.

If you do wanna swap, do it right and swap it for the real stuff, it will look better than wrapping and sharpie

I voted swap. If you were local, I'd let you try mine by swapping my dash bits. Are you driving to the GTG at Dane's place? Maybe someone there will have some they'd let you look at or try out for a few minutes in your car.

Yes, going to head down there.
I'm really liking the idea of the silver trim, but it isn't cheeeeeeap.

I like the black/black of my interior too, so personally I wouldn't swap, but I agree if you are looking for a change, do it right and spend the money for the trim swap. John

I vote silver if for no other reason than every car I've seen with black cube shows scratches really badly, especially on the door pull if you're married and your ring scuffs the finish*, where silver hides them somewhat better.

*and I bet some of you are thinking WTF? His ring scratches the trim AND HE STILL WEARS IT IN THE CAR???

[jjcools]

I like the silver too. I would price out carbon effects for silver too. It would probably hold up better than the oem cube.
