The panels in the door for the window switches and the door handles look good with the white contrast. However painting the speaker covors and plastic trim around the stereo went too far IMO. White sticks out big time in a black interior car. A little contrast here and there can be sharp, but you need to be carefull not to go to far. Just my opinion.

I have just a little silver in the enterior of my Z, and I think it looks good, but didn't want to take it too far.

Worse. Would've looked nicer if you left most of that black and did white leather door inserts...

P.S. It looks like your headunit is crooked.

As already stated, you did good work, but I think you picked the wrong color.

No chrome if you mean chrome paint...

If you absolutely are dead set on going with a white accented interior then you need to do a lot more to make it not look really out of place.

I would paint the doorhandles and stuff black and then replace the doorpanel fabric material with one that is white. Then maybe some black seats with white accents. Then white face gauges, HVAC cover and headlight cover. After that, feel free to try to add some more white accents around the car but the key would be to keep it subtle.
Don't paint the speaker covers white; don't paint the AC vents white; don't get white carpet.

But, at the end of the day man it is YOUR car and most people won't see the inside of it. Do whatever it is YOU like the most since you will be the one looking at it most of the time.
