I took it off the order.

Strange right?

I determined that it would be slightly better without the black than with it. Beautiful as the dash is, it didnt make sense. I am going to get a green shift ****, and some green underlighting. I need a 1-2 other places for the same colour shift **** green to be on some other parts. Thats a dificult one.

the green lightning will be sickly death green. I want it to look depressing and morbid.

Sharp pictures! It's funny, for all of the stickers that I have on my rear window, I don't like the circles so much on the dash.
I DO love the down tubes in Anthracite... I would think with my Anthracite interior they would have put black tubes but I guess maybe they weren't available at the time of manufacture (05 2005).
Wonder if I can some day change them??

Your gallery shows a body colored (hyper blue) interior. Did you mean you have an anthracite headliner? The "anthracite interior", i.e. anthracite dash and door ovals, does come with anthracite down tubes and trim rings. You can easily change your down tubes to anthracite (and at a very reasonable cost) by ordering the parts from your dealer.

I've got the Piano Black dash with the aranthracite headliner. Ive been thinking about adding the chrome. After seeing these pic's, Im convinced. Looks fantastic!!

The only problem I have with the Piano Black is it gets dusty and it shows. I have to wipe it off all the time.

I dont think the 07's come with the circles. The area on the dash that it covers is narrower than in the 1st gen. If I would have ordered an 07, my dash pick would be the checkerboard!! That is sharp!!

Yeah I think it's going to be a toss up between the 2. We'll be going to the dealer soon and plan to check out everything in detail.

The circles were only on the "Seven" Interior Surface offered for the 2006 model year.

The circles matched the seat upholstery pattern offered in European models ...

Piano black is my favorite, so many ways to customize it.

That looks SO sweet!!! I was going to go with a Chilli Red painted dash for my 04 (one month before it was a factory option ) but now I might have to go black.

Anyone seen the circle stickers aftermarket?
