Painted interior pieces can look good if done correctly. True this color stands out more, but the quality looks great.

If your just gonna talk **** as a newbie your gonna get the ban stick real quick.-edit: TRUE -pz

Like everyone said, good quality. The sporadic trims painted here and there does look tacky. It needs balance. If you're going to do it, go all the way.

It doesn't look bad and it ties the exterior color into the interior.. In my v6 I had my trim painted silver to match the exterior and I loved it as well as everyone else..

Usually I'm not a fan of this kinda stuff, but I really like it, looks like you did a good job. The shape of the console that color reminds me of an xbox360, haha.
