Hey everyone,  
I recently bought a Metallic Black New 3DS XL from Japan, and I'm planning on buying new buttons.

Right now, I have a custom red-accented collage decoration under a clear outer case, but I'm undecided on what to do with the controls. I really wanted the Red New 3DS XL, but I couldn't get one.

I'm torn between keeping the original all-black/grey interior or going for a "Bred" (Black x Red) 2-tone theme.

If I go with red, I'd be replacing all the physical touchpoints so everything is consistent:  
Red D-Pad, ABXY, Start/Select, Home, and Power buttons.  
Red L/R and ZL/ZR shoulder triggers to frame the top edge.  
Red Circle Pad and C-Stick (to get rid of the original white/light-grey analog stick and keep a strict 2-tone palette).

Before ordering the parts, I have 3 questions:

Looking at the style and edited pictures, does the Black x Red combo look clean and intentional, or does it look ugly?

Should I do the red style or just buy new black buttons?

For anyone who has used aftermarket red Circle Pads or C-Sticks, how do they hold up in person in terms of texture, grip, and color matching with OEM-style buttons?

I've attached:  
1st picture: The current state of my console.  
2nd picture: The decoration I came up with.  
Rest of pictures: An edited picture of how it would look, including the pieces I want to buy.  
Thanks for any feedback!

:)

Thinking of doing a full Black & Red custom for my New 3DS XL. Clean mod or "Bad repaired -console" vibes?
