That seems kinda out of place if I'm honest.

Idk how I feel about that. The bright red doesn't really tie in with anything else but your calipers. If you had a red car it would probably flow better. Have seen a lot painted DSG and it looks great; it's nice and subtle.

ummm well if it were red it would be stange, but that is Orange... but yea, when i get the money i was going to buy new front seats, and have my friend put a matching orange inlay on then, and piece it together as i go, to make it flow better... when i finish i think it will look good, it will deff be different.

i am just slowly making my car custom to me, with small changes,

That is orange then; thought that at first...lol. Assumed maybe the flash made a red look that way though haha. Anyways, matching seat inserts would be badass. Would definitely help tie it in.

Considering there is no other orange on the car. I am going to have to agree and say its out of place. You could paint those peices gloss black or even maybe silver or something.
