Am I going to far with this yellow/black interior?

I seen this 2004 Lightning and fell in love with it and thought I might try to emulate (to some extent) the interior colors of my truck. Here is the Lightning:





I just installed a custom seat cover and wheel cover. Next is yellow shifter boots, yellow classic Hurst shifter *****, black dash cover, custom painted Yellow, Black and Grey door panels, Y/B floor mats.

Here is the progress so far: (Am I going to far with this?) Give me your honest opinion.

To me it looks "GAWDY" but that's me. If yellow is your color go for it. It's your truck.

Thanks for the honest opinion..that is what I am after. I do love the yellow...I do think right now it looks incomplete...but I will see what it looks like after I get finished....then if it still doesnt look right I will just tear it out..LOL

What do you think it would look like if I added the same accents to my door panels...

Black on top, keep the the grey cloth in the middle, yellow in the middle w/blk arm rest, and keep the grey on the bottom?

What do ya'll think?

I like the combo, but as was said earlier, it's incomplete. I'm doin my interior, black silver and billet. Mine looks odd cuz it's not done yet. Once you finish, just stand back and say 'yeah'

BTW...I realize that with a color like yellow you cant go half ars or it does look "gawdy" ...it has to be done right with the right accents applied. I also am going to apply the yellow acccent to the outside in mild approach..i.e. yellow pinstripes and I have already ordered my aluminum wheels for my 35's with gold bead locks...so we will see how it turns out....
