Tacky or Nice?

What do you guys think of these, whether they would look good or bad?

its a personal taste thing. I think they look good if you add the other chrome acents... like the shifter surround, etc that you can get.

For me personally I would not use them myself because I dont want chrome in my interior

Looks like they "glue" on to existing frame, meaning they'll probably not be so flush with thd dash and not look so good from the side.

It fits like it really belongs there. Ashman is right. It looks good in a black interior with the chrome shift surround. But stop there. Add any more chrome, like window switches etc., & it just might start look tacky.

I just added those to the middle and did the shift surround to accent. imo when you also do the surrounds at the end one s t becomes tacky and too much.

i refrain from buying things for aesthetic purposes.

but with a few other chrome accents those could look nice.
