Default overkill? Opinions

Ive spent alot of time and money grooming my XF for shows and have done OK with the local ones in the area. Someone once advised me that while its looking good, the interior was lacking in the eye candy department ie.
plain Jane.

I made leather door pulls, put in SLK roll bars, dual a pillar gauges, chrome shifter bezel and satisfied my obsession with skulls by installing a chrome shifter and an e-brake skull that I must of put close to 15 hours into. Thought Id create some more pizzaz buy creating these skull door pins with jeweled eyes. They were actually bone colored rubber valve caps.

The thing is...my "over-kill" light is starting to flash. While the door pins add a hey cool check it out aspect thats good for shows, Im just not certain if it detracts from the image Im trying to create for my car. I dont want pimp, Im looking for cool. Sort of wanting just plain chrome pins like on the mustangs to give it a less in your face pop. So you show car buffs, do you think it meshes or detracts? Keep in mind, the camera got an extreme close up view. They really look pretty good in person
