They match on the LS...

What color is your interior? Is your dash plastic all black and it's just a different shade of black, like mine on the right side? Or actual two colors of plastic? Got a pic?

Here are a couple of pictures, one with flash and one without. The one without flash the plastic looks almost identical and that applies to when you see it in person without any artificial lighting.
