Default shift boot and steering wheel cover suggestions

I was bumming around looking for something to get for my T/A(like I need more to buy lol) and I saw these awesome shifter boots

https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsor-sales-specials/651884-genuine-italian-leather-shift-brake-boots-armrests.html

I need some help picking a color scheme. Car is NBM with ebony interior. I will be putting in blue LEDs for the map, dome lights as well as the gauges, HVAC, etc.... I have silver accents on the outside(T/A badges, rear panel bird and PONTIAC lettering are all silver). Some day I may get stripes... If I do they would look similar to these


Anyway, any suggestions on a color scheme? I am almost for sure getting the shifter boot, debating the E brake boot, and its still iffy on the steering wheel cover. I was thinking a black boot with silver(more likely white or light gray) stitching or piping. Here is a pic of some quad stitching that is two toned, might look cool with blue and silver http://www.redlinegoods.com/images/VWMK5-03.jpg

For the wheel I would go Navy on the top and bottom and black on the sides and maybe if they will do it some silver threading. For the shift boot center console cover if you get that too I would go black with some Navy and silver threading. or Piping whichever you like. Just my opinion but I think that would look killer then maybe some Silver overlays for you gauges although idk where to get the silver ones anymore all I see is white.

Ebony is best matched by our black leather. I think black leather with silver stripes (yes, we can make them go from the front to the back of the car) would look killer. Imagine this but without the perforated leather:



Hope that helps,
