Question your Opinion on adding (coloured) interior trims/inlays

I'm waiting for my deliver in July; (which is in like 6000 months from now)

As the interior is all black, I was thinking of adding some touches of
(red) colour to it, by means of trims/inlays

Lots available on aliexpress and it LOOKS nice.... but
is there anyone here that has actual experience with this?

Is it a good idea or will it look like I stuck cheap stickers on my dashboard?

looking at stuff like this:

Thanks reply, but with all due respect my question is not so much if you LIKE the style,
but whether it will give a proper/quality finish.
It's not "super cheap", so I don't want to just try it only to throw away after...

The main problem with these stick on stuff is that it looks just the same, it is too thick and often have a very poor surface finish compared to OE.


Looks cheap and tacky IMO

Im with Vic on this one. They looked tacked on, plus they are an eyesore. However that by no means there is not a big market for them.

the problem is that EVERYTHING they sell on Ali looks nice on the pictures,
but half the time you don't get exactly the same item...

thanks for the link though c4004matic.. you have given me lots of ideas for my
next brand new car :-))

Cheep and tacky. Don't do it.
