Improving dashboard aesthetic contrast

Long time since I have posted. I hope all are well.

I was thinking lately about a simple way to increase the SLK dashboard aesthetic contrast. It has a great sensual shape, but color wise, it is all black & grey. Given that my interior has the red seats, and given that my previous SLK (a 230) with the beige interior had some dashboard tones, it seemed that the SLK280 dashboard could use some red color too.

Using simple 1/8” red pin striping (the only red I could find: not exactly the right tint...), I did the outside of the console, adding a touch of red to the otherwise black surface. It is a continous line, adding an interesting highlight to the curvaceous design of console. Easily removable, just for fun.

What do you think?
