Do it!

Funny thing is my family had a newer Neon way back when. It was black, so I never knew about the color matched trim on the inside until much later when I saw a yellow Neon with a yellow center stack... Totally blew my mind.

I'd do a color matched trim paint job myself, but it'd just end up being silver painted plastic... which is what the trim looks like anyways.
