This and that.
Good on for doing something different. Personal opinion, I don't like it. Gives a nice, luxury car, a rather cheap/tacky appearance. But if you like it, then that's all that matters.

Too many colors and textures going on. If you followed a theme it might look better.
But if you like it- ENJOY!

Just as I was thinking. Too many things going on at once. Too each his own though.

I'm still waiting for the aftermarket to make a nice knob for my 6 speed that isn't a Brabus overpriced art project.
