Default Interior color scheme?

Guys I need your input! O.k I have a NBM Mettallic Z with tan leather. On the out side of the car I've got silver grand sport hash marks silver z emblems and silver camaro letters. So with that said I want to liven up the interior I a litlle bit but I don't know what color would look good. Here are some thing's I thought about doing. I want gauge overlays and a dual gauge pod. I thought about getting silver overlays and autometer ultra-lite gauges aif/fuel ( just for the pretty light show) and a water temp, for the pod. Also I would like to paint the trim pieces on the dash and possibly the center section on the console but I don't know what color to paint it. So what do you guys think about this and please feel free to give me suggestions I'm open to about anything. Heres a pic of my car so you can see what the outside looks like.

Thanks for your input

Yeah the gauge pod would kinda be false advertisment but I just thought it would look cool. Here's the pic.

It doesn't hurt to know your a/f ratio- if you can gauge it properly. That will come in real handy when you start getting inside the motor!

Not 100% sure but a freind had leather seat inserts and embrodiery done on his seats fro $1,600. Looked totally awesome and OEM. They sewed the inserts into the OEM cover.

Cool

We've got the same color scheme.....I've swapped in Pontiac AQ9 seats from a Trans Am in "taupe" (= Chevy's "neutral"), and had 1970 Z28 emblems embroidered into the headrests. Navy blue inserts in the seats would look killer, and I've also thought that the gray areas (plastic) on the console and door panels would look great covered in navy blue leather....
