Interior accents
I have a 95 T/A black on black on black with red accents such as brake calipers and overlay decals on the outside. I'm looking to add some red accents to the interior of my car with out doing anything ricey... any one have any ideas? post pictures please!

Leather shift boot in black with red stitching would look great and is fairly cheap. A set of 6LE gauges would look great in red as well. Red is a color you don't want to over accessorize IMO, it starts to look tacky really quick.

Yup. Easy on the red. Baby steps with the red. Try avoid major items being red.
Use this as a guide: floor matts with red "SS" or "ws6" embroidery. 95% of the matt is black - except for the red writing. That's a good contrat. Keep that in mind it applies to most items you accent. With seats, center red inserts looks great too - and it sort of the exception to the rule with red (percentage wise).

I couldnt agree more thats why I want small accents. I agree the shift **** would look great, only problem is they don't make many A4 shift *****. I thought about doing red gauges as well but I already have red interior lights that come stock in the car.

^Wow, that shift **** and steering wheel look great with the red stitching! Did you happen to get that done at that place in Dallas, TX? If not, where? I work at an upholstery shop in MN and I'd love to learn how to wrap steering wheels and other stuff. I've tried but got very frustrated and quit. LoL
