Selecting gauge clusters + vinyl??

Hello guys,

I have a 2014 5.0 GT in grabber blue.
Right now, I'm going for a "black and blue" theme. Something that catches the eye.

The car itself is very fast and very fun. With plans to add a phase 1 supercharger the summer of 2014 or 2015, I should also add some gauges.

In the meantime, I'm looking to "spice" up the interior, but being young, I don't have the wisdom to say "that looks stupid."
I know the final decision is mine but hopefully you his can help.

Right now I'm debating against accenting the interior in either 1) carbon fibre vinyl.
Or 2) Grabber blue vinyl.

I'm also debating between the A-pillar gauge, (with roush vent gauge) or the boss gauge cluster that sits on the dash.

I've seen these offered in carbon fibre and really liked the look, but nothing on the outside of my car is carbon fibre. It's all matte black. So I thought maybe the blue would set the interior off.
Do you guys agree or disagree?

Also, would adding the boss gauge pod, and the 2 or 3 gauge A piller pod be overkill?? I can't even name 6-7 gauges I'd need to fill those spots! (Kidding)

If I went carbon fibre, I'd go with the boss Laguna sec seat delete, but it's made from carbon fibre.

If I go blue, I will get the regular seat delete with the blue x brace (still debating the seat delete)


Definitely want to pull the trigger on the vinyl interior; so you guys decide:

Grabber Blue?
Carbon Fibre?

I'm hardly one to give advice on this because my tastes are really old fashioned. Of your options, I'd do the blue. For me, carbon fiber stuff is only cool if it's actually made of carbon fiber. I would use the blue as an accent and not just wrap the whole interior.

I feel the same way.
I didn't want to go carbon fiber unless the parts themselves are made from it.
I'm only 24, so we do have different tastes. But I'm on the same page as just accenting the interior.
When I make the 7,000 km drive to my hometown, I want my dad to hop in this car and say "wow". Not, "oh sweet Jesus what has my kid done? He's ruined the car!"

Same reason I won't paint the interior, at least with vinyl and plastidip it can be removed and taken back to stock.

Sort of going for an OEM look that's still eye catching.

Not an easy thing to do….my old man looks at everything like it should be built like a Toyota. I keep mine bone a$$ stock…simple and nothing flashy and you'll get a thumbs up. Don't paint anything!!!
