Decisions decisions...



ok, so, relying upon the impeccable taste of my fellow mopar fanatics...

which would you put in your car?

the one with the silver plates is not very cleaned up, but it is on a base that is physically perfect, even though it is dull and could you some spit and polish. the plates are pitted and have a few spots with some sort of nasty green corrosion.

The one that is more black, is the one I have been working on, originally a console that used the wood grain decals I stripped the worn faded and abused woodgrain off and painted em mostly black leaving the upper flat edge chrome as well as the area around the shift indicator.

the base is broken and repaired has soem cracks in it.

I am leaning towards putting the one I have put time and effort into, cracks and all, with the knowledge that it would not remain perfect anyway. but... I originally wanted the other plate style...
but...

so...

what would you guys do?
