Installed the Cedar buckets/door panels yesterday with the help of Steve...

Per his recommendation, we sampled the Cedar Startech wheel with the rest of the interior virtually untouched... At first I had my doubts, but it has REALLY grown on me.



Having seen this, it made me realize how much red was in fact present with the full interior in place... The way we have it now, it "accentuates" the steering wheel, your eyes are drawn to the rim (which was lost in the sea of red with the former interior).



While it "pops" from the dash, it still has a tie-in with the basic color theme of the rest of the interior... Black inside red, divided by brushed aluminum.



Also, gave a breakup to the red door panels... I REALLY like the slate tweeter surrounds.



From the driver's seat, you don't see the red behind the airbag... only the red rim, and the black airbag blends beautifully with the rest of the dash.

I'm driving it for a few days like this before I make the call to keep it this way, or go with the full red. But, for the moment, I'm loving this. It says this definitely isn't your everyday Crossfire... and the Cedar seems to go with the Graphite metallic paint beautifully.

Comments welcome!
