my opinion is no, its ricey. i think the white gauges will add a nice touch. painting interior would be too much in my opinion. but in the end its your car, so do what you think looks good.

I did the instrument panel bezel and the AC ***** with a silver/grey testured paint. It looks ok I guess. The darn interior was just too black for my taste

IMO it's very very rice and not just because it's for looks. It's because it's cheap and it will look cheap. If you want to update the look of the interior get the aluminum accent kit. It gives nice aluminium handles for doors, lock, window switches, heater controls etc. I have seen one car with painted interior trim that looked good and it was only because the guy went with a very dark grey metallic that went very well with black and grey stock parts. Most times people use a bright contrasting color and it just plain looks gaudy.

id say go for it. i love my interior and so do a lot of people i talk to. and it doesnt look cheap. if your careful and do it right it will look really nice. now that ive had it for a long time i forget that it didnt come that way. mine is atlantic blue...to match the exterior.

I say do what you think you'll like. Your the one that is going to have to live with it. I mean your going to be the one seeing it all the time if its your daily driver. So if you think it will look good then go for it all the way.

I say do what you want because it is your car. Although, A bit of opinion for the exterior...The white racing stripe is nice....but it covers up some of the letters in the "mustang GT". Maybe you could buy indivdual letters in black to fill in the letters totally covered in white. I think it would give it a cool black & white effect like the stripes add to the car. Just a thought though, take it or leave it
