One more thing. Need to buy chrome trim for airvent handles.
Has this been done? I was thinking about that. Nice touch

I don't think it was clear as the topic of this post but, the big question i'm still wondering about is the difference in color of the poplar center console piece above the wood is the plastic that frames the DVD, CD, and A/C, by mistake I ordered the one for BLACK interior and I have GREY interior.

So, now it's 2-tone - does it look OK? Will it help or hurt resale value if I decide to sell down the road? My opinion is it looks OK, actually works with the other black accents that I have

I would personally return that piece and get the correct one. It won't cost you anything other than another couple trips to the dealer.

I think it looks rather odd I would return it for the correct part. I'm only saying this because I'm "used" to seeing a matched one, so bear that in mind.

If you decide to sell your car, I don't think a casual buyer will notice. But if you sold it to an enthusiast, he'll definitely notice.

thank you for your opinions. That's about all i needed to hear. I will get it replaced with the correct matching trim...didn't want to go back to the dealer

You really don't notice the difference, especially from the driver's seat but, it's just knowing that it's the wrong part that bugs me a bit, thanks again.
