It definitely looks more modern.

I'll take some pics once I've finished the shifter surround & mounted the stereo properly.
haha first to take up my que.. cool i did see what you mean about the slight imperfection you see it more with the piece in your hand then when its in the car. its because the plastic is heat molded i think so its a little inconsistent. though. not enough to make me regret doing it. let us see some pics of the work you did.
