Mahogany maritime wood trim (final pics).

Ok guys I just spent the entire last evening putting on the new wood trim on the console. The only thing missing is the trim on the gear knob...guess I forgot to order it . I think the new trim looks great not to mention it's very unique. What do you guys and gals think? All comments (negative or positive) are welcomed.















Here's what the center console area looks like during surgery.....

Phong! Great job and the trim definitely looks good... Seems like you're expecting some negative feedback... here goes...

In my honest opinion and the way I look at it, I won't get the trim with Black interior since just looking at it, it just jumps out and does not blend in well.

But then again, I really don't know what it'll blend in with pretty good???

Love it - nice job! I think it looks fine in your interior, but I think it would look even better in my beige interior!

Eugene and X5Jay: thanks for the honest opinions guys. Yes I do think the trim would blend in a little better with the cream interior. Yes those stripes are kind of off-white or cream color.
