My interior is beige, not black unfortunately (white exterior). The stock pillar is pretty much EXACTLY the same colour of grey, and the only difference you'll notice is a seam where the new one over the stock pillar ends and the original pillar continues near the roof of the car, so no, for now, it stays grey :).

don't get a volt meter ! you really don't need it, get a oil temp instead of a volt meter :)

Meh, my stock bezel has oil temp, just not a scale.

I mean down the line if I had anything bigger than a D15 with some mods done to it I might care more about knowing the actual temperature, but I needed a third gauge and I figured a voltmeter would actually have some use lol.

It'll be fun turning off all my components and seeing it drop and feeling more HP out of my 102 D15 ;)

Yeah I considered the 2-pod because I only really needed 2, but I didn't like how most of them didn't extend all the way to the top of the pillar, I found some that did, but only in black and I didn't want to bother with trying to match my interior grey.
