Default shifter boot/ball color opinion

Hey guys, I will be ordering an MGW short throw soon for my 5 speed 2010 GT and need a couple opinions...My interior is premium and has the black leather with white (creme, beige) color accent stripe. Im thinking about getting a white shift ball with 2 black rally stripes and im also ordering a new boot from redlinegoods.com

my question is since i dont want a white shifter boot, would it look okay if i had a white shift ball with 2 black stripes, but had a black shift boot with white stripes? i hope you guys understand what i mean, may sound a little confusing. If anyone could post pictures of their color combinations or anything like that, itd be great.

Also, would the dual stripe on the *** and/or boot look awkward considering there is only 1 stripe on the seats? having a hard time figuring this one out.

heres my interior in case you were wondering:

I have that same interior and personally wouldn't do that.. My preferences on shift ***** are solid colors and maybe a logo and that's about it.. I have a black shift boot with red stitching (other red accents are on the car as well).

If anything, a black *** would probably be best then? what would be your opinion on the shift boot?

I think a solid white **** would be stylish.. I have the stock billet ball **** (not that fugly leather and silver one) in mine and like it a lot so I never changed it.. And as far as a boot, I don't see anything wrong with the stock one, but if you do want to change it I like different stitch colors that match your overall theme.. However, I think your choice in a black with a single white stripe would look good too possibly.. It's really hard with these kind of things without ever seeing them in the car, that's why I have a hard time picking stuff for mine cause I have to see it in there first..

definitly know what you mean.. I think the boot will look good in black leather with a single white stripe because that will match the seats. Im going to get the 2 different MGW handles (so that i can use all aftermarket *****) and just see which one suits the car best. Might be the best way to go unfortunately.
