Constrast for Black Interior

GL450 is my first black interior ride. I like the clean look but I'm looking for something to break the monotony. Would gray OEM (all-weather) floor mat look too out of place in a black interior? Any other ideas about what accessories/minor mods I can make to get some contrast?

Oh, that is 100% a custom, limited-supply option!

How 'bout this one?



But, in all seriousness, I think the grey floor mats would look nice. I have a tan interior and use black mats and I like it. In another car, I have a grey interior and also use black mats and like it there, too. Get some sheets of grey construction paper and lay them out on your floor and see if you like it.

If your entire interior is black, may this will break it up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fit-Mercede...024854ad4af0c6
