Gray interiors simply lack enough black accents (too much gray). Black down the entire length of the console makes the car look much more contemporary.

i agree that there is too much gray. I am thinking of two toning my interior black and gray

Use black construction paper to do a dry run on possible changes -- allows you to see first hand what they will look like.

Finally finished my stereo install. Looks and sounds great now but I'm sort of disappointed with the sound quality over bluetooth audio. It is good not great. Over a hard line it's great
Subwoofer is next, watch this space...

Here's my gray interior with black floor mats and coin tray. I find it gives the car just enough contrast with the gray without changing too much.

Headed to NoRoads garage this morning to see one of Travis's Deloreans (6344) back on the road after an engine rebuild, transmission rebuild, brake rebuild, new fuel system, and probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting to mention. I'm excited to see this car one back on the road, it's been way too long. http://www.noroads.com/delorean/proj...ine/?content=5
Also hoping to change the fuel filter and install a metal door handle on mine (15500) and put the old one on (04389). Opening the drivers side door from the passenger's seat is getting old.
Pictures coming tonight.

i like the look of the black floor mats but think it might need a little more. I have to fix my center console anyway, since the ends are curling up and was thinking of doing the whole center black. with the black knee pads. Are your DMC letters glowing on the door?

I didn't make any permanent changes or anything that would involve replacing expensive parts or altering the accuracy of a gray-interior car; despite the fact that my car was a black interior car, I now have what would've been a factory gray setup instead. The floor mats are easily removed in the event of the sale of the car and nothing I do is intended to look out-of-place or would give passers-by the idea that it wasn't stock. Even parked next to another DeLorean, people tend not to notice my changes.
The door sills, however, are a bit more obvious. They're lighted and glow a brilliant blue that I've never been able to photograph. I got them from DMCMW and, since my dome lights don't work, they're my only illumination when the doors are open.
