I agree with the other guys. The red is way too bright. If you used a slightly darker shade of red would have been good. However, you should carry the theme of the red throughout the whole car. I would bring the red into the foot pedals, center console, and customize the seats with red inserts. This may give your car a better balance inside. However, the red is much too bright......One more thing, you should get the white faced gauges throughout....not only the speedometer, but you should do everything else as well.

The red dashboard might make your eyes tired from straining to focus on the instrument cluster. If you don't drive long distances, then you may not have much of a problem with that.
I think I know what you were trying to accomplish. I agree with the others b/c it is ricey as hell right now but I'll tell you what to do in order to make it right. Kill the instrument cluster red. DO NOT paint the center console or your pedals. The idea is to make it look good without over doing. You do this by only painting the lower half of the car, i.e. door panels, lower glove box, lower driver dash- thats it! This way you have two tone and not overtone; two tone color and two tone split, one color up top and one color down low.
Paint everything you painted red BLACK. Also, make sure you have it done at a shop, do not try to do it out of the can. They will prep it right and it should look like painted metal when its done; just like the outside of the car. I had my entire engine bay done by a friend of mine at a body shop and all my friends who did it out of the can didn't know what to say.
Anyway, good idea; but you half-assed it by doing it yourself and letting it run loose.

I did the same thing with my Camaro a while back, but I got sick of it real quick.

I'm not a big fan of painted interior pieces myself. Looks like you've put a lot of work in it though, and that certainly gets a
