You don't want a shiny black dot to stand out against an otherwise black center console because you insist on wanting it to not be noticeable, and perhaps blend into it's surrounding area.
However, you are contemplating the bright red "No Smoking" cover because THAT wont stick out like a sore thumb.


It's your car...
I would prefer to find one without a smoking sign at all. I want EXACTLY the same piece as the one from the center console. I may just try to find one off another f-body and rip it off or something.
