My advice is to keep it stock. I did the same thing in an old civic I used to own. Although it looked good, I got sick of it, and had to buy new dash parts and vents.
Before doing anything ask yourself if you want to spend more money down the road to make your car stock again. You could spend the money now and get a carbon fiber dash kit that is fully removeable.

I agree too, but I'm probably doing my white ES interior in white. Hope it looks good....

Personally, I'd match my interior trim pieces with whatever color my decals are on the outside.

eh, porterfields wear down too, money spent money burned

if you really wanna paint it, I agree that white would look good. But I think black would be sharp looking, especially when the car's exterior is silver. I've seen yellow before, and it looks good (but only on a yellow Lancer), and I've seen red on a silver Lancer, but I'm not feeling it all that much. If you want a race look, it's ok, but it's just too loud to me (sorry Boe, but I love your sleeper other than that). You should check out the registries for Boeturbolancer, suyfergirl, and kontradictions, I believe they all have pics of their red, yellow, and white interior pieces.
