interior suggestions needed

I got my truck exterior repainted a black cherry color. pics are in my gallery. The interior is still the factory colors as is seen in the gallery pics.

My inside door sheet metal was painted exterior color as well as the door jambs.

Now I am trying to decide how to finish off the interior of the truck.

some ideas I am batting around are
1) paint inside cab and dash same color as exterior, and dye dash pad black. Keep current door panels, headliner and seat, and install a black carpet.

2) repaint doors and cab silver (original color) and leave dash and panels, headliner etc. same. replace carpet with same color red carpet.

3) paint dash ext. color, dye dash pad black, repaint cab silver, and new carpet probably black.

any other ideas or comments would be very much appreciated.

I like the Red and Black Mix, kind of like my truck.
Just to add in another option would be to put black carpet, dye the dash black, and put black door panels(or just leave them red). Then paint the dash a fresh red color and clean up the red seat, leave seat belts red, and you could leave the dash panels red to have more red and black design.

Wow, that looks great, I really like that color...

I would make the interior the same as exterior with black seat, dash pad, door panels and carpet. That would tie it all together.

My vote is for all black, with the sheetmetal being body color.
