Nice job! What you did is exactly what I am doing now but with silver pieces in my black interior. On your dash, did you also change that 3-pc horizontal strip to black? Or did it come from the factory like that? The reason I'm asking is I have been thinking of changing that strip to silver in my car but someone had told me that I'd have to pull the dash down to access the clips on the back and the easiest way is to pry them off and glue the new ones in. I don't really like hacking my car's dash that way, but if you had changed that strip to black, I would like to know how difficult (or easy) is it to get done. Thanks.

I have the same issue with a blah interior

Mine is a white cabrio with blue top and blue interior, I just ordered a white console and will trim it with the blue parts from my old console. I matched the outside of the car saw some pics online and it looked nice... I will let you know.

Eric at BumperPlugs sells center consoles in any color, as well as other interior parts in custom colors to really break up the beige.

I did think of doing the seat loops, but was concerned that the harnesses would wear through the paint and not look good after a bit of use....
whats involved in getting the loops off is it just the torx bolts on the back?

I have the Savannah Beige interior and don't think black seats would look good at all. I agree with a previous post that if you want to mix it up a little, maybe consider having your center panels done in black. All black seats in a Tan interior will look odd as evidenced by the seat covers in the photos. It may not be for everyone, but it's my favorite interior color ever.
