Silver goes best with silver. That said, I've seen some really nicely done civics with black blades. As far as the interior is concerned, its too costly and time consuming to change the colour, especially since flat black would be best, but its pretty close to charcoal gray anyway.

If gunmetal is too dark for you, wouldn't hyperblack be darker?
