If you didn't want to go tan, you could try a gunmetal silver - more subdued than mine, even, just like you said. It wouldn't stand out as much, and it would make your dash look more like black than gray. (Whatever you do, don't paint them black - the gloss black is perhaps the prettiest color, but it makes your whole interior look like trash. It's TOO good for the dash/other plastic.)
What's the exterior color of your car? Possibly go with that.
Just feeding you some possibilities! Good luck on deciding!

Thanks! That's some ideas there. The exterior is black. The tan or light gray color probably would look really good. I think a tan would be better as it tones in with the seats/carpet.
Hmmmm

There was a guy on here that swapped some parts around to get a fully two-tone effect with the tan interior instead of the way it looks stock. I think I have some pics at home. I'll see if I can find them and post them later. It came out quite well.

thanks man. It just seems harder for some reason with the tan interior to match stuff up without going the carbon fiber route. I'm trying to shed away from carbon fiber as I'm not 100% into it. They look really good but it's just not me.

Someone had laser cut AL pieces throughout the interior I believe.He had them FS on the board here but never got back to me when I told him I was interested.
Does anyone have some pics of that set-up?

I found some pics to give you ideas.
Three of pics are the tan interior that I mentioned.
The other pic is a two-tone leather interior.
I have also seen the two-tone done in silver/black and blue/black.
