^I figure colors like satin black and light grey would not be too LOUD if you know what i mean. It's subtle, and adds a little spice to the interior.

^Yeah thanks for the idea! I really wanna stray away from the ricey theme. Subtle, but different is what I'm aiming for. Just not sure what kinds of colors would achieve that.

i figured having the whole center console painted nautical blue would be to ricey so i decided that a two tone matte black to break it up would look a whole lot better and match the rest of the dash. the vents are staying black though, trying to not rice it but spice it haha

found an old pic i liked from last winter when i had the stockers on for the off-season



imma try and get them painted the satin finish like the RS2 tCs, i think it would really set off the stocks with the dark NB but not be to crazy

What do you guys think of 2 tone satin black and galactic (RS4) grey for the interior of a nb tc? Does it complement and match the interior of the tc?

It would be unique.
IMO, Galactic gray isn't anywhere near special enough color to spend extra to try and match though.

And is those 2 adding to the silver already in there with the black or replacing it?
