Default (Pics Added) Need the opinion of mustang connoisseurs..

Well i am in the process of transplanting all my black interior out of my GT into my new coupe.. Right now everything in the coupe interior has been changed to black except for the dash.. The coupe has the dash that is black on the top half and red on the bottom half.. Well my father came out to the house yesterday and commented on how much he likes the little bit of red on the interior.. My question for you fellow enthusiasts is would it be a mistake aesthetically to leave the black and red dash in the coupe?? Or should i go ahead and pull the dash and do the all black interior? Give it to me straight, i need some opinions on this.. Thanks in advance!

Richard

i'm not sure how you got those rear quarter panels to fit from a hatch to a coupe but however you pulled it off congrats lol.
i think that the little bit of red in there would look good. really why dont you just step back and take a look at it and decide for yourself, it's your car, you should be the one happy with it

Ha, i had to cut the quarters into pieces and tape them back together so that they would fit.. J/K.. I painted them with Krylon Fusion black.(and it looks real good!!)

I plan on eventually going with an all black exterior on the car, so a little color on the interior might not be bad.. I just wanted a second and maybe third opinion before i sold my black dash.

Thanks

lmao nice
i've painted things with that stuff before
if you're going for ALL black on the outside as well, then i'd say to swap it. i love my 95, black on black on black

i would change out the dash to a black one, especially since its the last piece to convert the interior to all black.

Yea all black, but you could dye the red one if you don't want the trouble of removing it.

I thought about that dye, but i might as well just change it all out becasue i would be able to see red in the little nooks and crannies and that would **** me off!! Thanks for the input guys, i guess i'll stick to my original plan and go all black!

Thanks, Richard
