If you like Dark Silver I'm sure it would be nice.

I'd prefer a bright, cheerful color, of which the choices are very limited.

I agree. Anthracite dash is the way to go! It will fit your dark interior perfectly.

I'd definitely be getting the sunroof, so that will lighten things up. I do like the light grey headliner...it doesn't bother me, but I honestly feel that the antrhacite headliner would go better with the exterior of the car and better continuity with what's happening on the inside.

The same with the dash. I LOVE the Patina finish. I think it's real slick looking. I have never seen the antrhacite dash in person, but when I see it it looks so blah in pictures. I don't know, maybe it's me.

Just figure that the exterior color is set at dark silver and black and the windows would be tinted at LEAST 20%.

Maybe a two-tone leatherette? I don't know what to do...I'm scared!

I would definately go with the two tone if your doing the leatherette, we've got the DS with the black top and mirrors and the two-tone seats adds a little more color to it. My opinion is that the one-tone seats is just two plain.
We got the anthrocite dash by accident because we forgot to choose a different one that we wanted and we ended up liking the anthrocite better now that we've seen it in person.

I've got a couple of pics in my gallery if you want to see what you would be looking at with those colors together.

Great combo!
If you're spec-ing an interior that dark, you might want to consider the chrome line interior option to add a little contrast.

The black/gray leatherette would be a good match with the dark sillver/black combo.

I'll upload some ant. dash with light headliner, I've often wondered what it would be like with the matching headliner, but thats not one of those things thats easy to change so I try to keep it out of my thoughts.

I'm confused...I look at your dash pics and that is the Patina finish...not hte antrhacite finish on the dash. Am I wrong?
