I think the thing that bothers me aesthetically is that the accent stripe runs perpendicular to the rest of the dash, essentially visibly cutting it in half. If the accents were around a few of the horizontal pieces like the brushed chrome accents, cupholder, etc., it would be a little more subtle, flow a little bit better to the eye, and wouldn't "jump out" at you as much. You'd still get some interesting shapes with rounded corners and different sizes, which, I think you were trying to achieve. JMHO.
