PCM in leather? (not whether it's worth it or not)

So, how do you think the PCM looks in leather. I really don't like the volcano grey. I would do this with the combo of the basic CF package and CF switch panel (as pictured). My interior will be black - will it be too black? The CF should break it up a bit.

And before anyone says it I know it's not worth it, costs too much, adds no value, will get killed on re-sale, etc. etc. etc. Just let me know how you think it will look.

50-50 Might look a littile dark. A little bit of different contrast is good IMO. Never thought about changing it becouse if my *** is in the seat, it's go time.

+1. That would be better than the leather that looks somewhat monotonous, would be tough to clean, and would be likely to get scratched easily.

On the other hand, the '09s have a revised PCM so the finish might be better than the current one. Better to wait and see, IMO.

I think its beautiful but there is no way I would want the PCM to be removed for installation . I did consider it at one point when upgrading my interior but opted on what i felt was most important --the Techart steering wheel and aluminum brake and shift **** . These were the hands on components associated with driving .

If I had the chance to do it all over again I would go this route as I find this interior beautiful . https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...light=cab+pics
