Mine is a coupe so the light that reaches inside is not as much as a vert with the top down. I did the dash overlay(69) and the console is orig. I've never had anyone comment about the color difference. If they were right next to each other it might be different but because it's separate it really isn't noticeable. The only one that ever might notice is someone looking to cover their own and is looking to see what somebody else had done.
