Default Pic Request: F-Sport Shift **** on Red Wood, How Does it Look???

Tried but couldn't find this on search. Does anybody have pics of the F-Sport shift **** on the red wood trim?

Does the red & blue color clash or is it passable?

I've contemplated the F-Sport shift **** with the carbon fiber wrap dash trim on group buy right now, (I actually have a 2nd set of brand spankin new red wood trim thanks to somebody on Craigslist, which would be a perfect DIY on my current interior) but I really want the BLACK CF trim, and the Neffy Wrap seller does not offer that color right now b/c of "low demand". Wack, go figure.

Anyway, with the current Sewell group buy on F-Sport parts, I was wondering how the F-Sport Shift **** looked on red wood, for now.

Anyone have pictures of that combo?

That's how I probably feel too, but I want to see the pictures first. Sometimes clashing colors actually look okay. Also, I may do the black carbon fiber dash wrap in the near future anyways.

Anyone have actual pics? I would like to judge for myself

If you getting CF wrap soon then just get it and wait.

I think cf on red wood looks like red wood on black interior, something about the way black IS leather and redwood does not seem too harmonic.

I disagree. Black interior with wood is the best color combo in my opinion. I wish I had that color combo, especially the black leather. I'm sure many others agree as well. I like it even better than the bland 09 gray wood.

I have black leather interior with red wood and I like it.

That with Carbon Fiber F-Sport Shifter though. It'll stand out and look weird. The perforated leather shift **** with chrome though would flow well.

GiantsFan & gemini1,

Thanks for coming through with the pics. I really appreciate it.

I think I'm down. It doesn't look bad at all. Also, I've got some blue air freshener strips in 4 vents and may do the CS-X3 air freshener. I think I can make it work. It's got the same kind of blue as the Fsport. I may not put it on the dash, but maybe on the side of the center console. It's on group buy below.

Yeah man, I think it will work. It's not like the shift **** is green or pink or something. And anytime I can decrease the amount of chrome from the car, I'm all for it.
