As I am finishing up the seat and door cards of my Caddy. I feel like things are starting to look pretty good. 

Should the shift boot be red to match new stuff or remain black to match the dashboard?

I'm divided. I think it could be a cool highlight, but it could also be too busy.

My instinct is always toward "less is more", so I ambiguously say leave it black.

I will say I was confused about what model Cadillac that is.

Looks great, though.  Nice work!

I love a red interior and I, too, think it looks very good right now, as is.

Can't go wrong with black. Leave it.

Keep it black, it will stand out like crazy if it is the only red thing in the middle of the car.

 

Now, if you were asking about what to do with the lower half of the dash...

I actually paperclipped some of the vinyl to the lower pieces and quickly decided that was too much

I'm going to go against the hive and say the seats and door panels need black stitching.

Also black but I would consider tartan if I had the material laying around.

My brain melted a bit trying to figure out what Cadillac that was.

Black knob for me.
