the power controls look ok, but the center dash looks a bit tacky, just stands out way to much.

Good effort.

I like the idea, but I agree that the centre console stands out a bit too much.

Would be great if you could extend the silver theme along the entire centre section.

Similar to this (but not so wacky!):

ya in my head it looked good, but when i did it it looked a little too by itself with the center. i might extend the silver up to the windsheid like in the pics above, just get the part where the navi supposed to go.. haha

edit: maybe to help it blend in more. i might paint the ***** on the air screens right above it. i mean in person it looks way better cause when in the car you have the center, side controls, mid strips, shifter ring, and the circles around the air duct things (idk what they are called) are silver. but yes i will work on getting the center to blend in more.
