Hi Guys,
I've decided to change the interior in my Formy to black. So it'll be black on black, and I plan on totally blacking out the interior. Like stuff that was never made in black, painted black. But I'd like another Formy, an arctic white one. What do you guys think a white interior would look like? I know I'd have to paint or custom make everything. Would like to hear some opinions.
Thanks
Alex

haha ya a white carpet would have to be a trailer queen or a car show/cruise ONLY car...even that you would have to be putting trash bags on your *** and shoes to not get it dirty.
White would be different but idk im not crazy about white interiors. IMO white interiors should be left to the old impalas painted in crazy metallic green paint with 24in rims. Oh yes cant forget the white dice from the mirror...haha
Anyway I think the white formy should also have a full black interior. Black looks sweet on any car tho. If you want to be different white might be cool but to me it just doesnt fit the attitude of our cars.

If you do decide to go white make sure to get a dash pad because if not you will not be able to see s*&t when driving in sunny weather. I did all the interior whit in my Grand National and that was my only complaint was the dash.
Well, the Nova was a cruiser, and you had to take your shoes off if you wanted a ride That car was b*tchin though, white buckets with a hurst shifter, all the trim was white, even the dash pad. And it came that way from the factory, never should have sold it. Damn "recession."
I'm really just looking for the contrast when I go to car shows, my formy and future formy won't see any heavy driving. I'm gonna try and do some photoshopping to try and get an idea.
Thanks for all your input

it definitely would be different. I think white interiors = classic. Like 60's Corvettes and Lowrider's. I don't think white interior = performance. But I would definitely like to see it. Specially white on white...

I have a interior in my 94 TA, and love it. Of course, it's only the seats and door panel inserts....I probably wouldn't recommend doing anything more than that.
Thanks for all the input guys. I think I'm gonna try it...... in like 2011. That's probably when I'll have time for another project. Now I've just gotta decide what should be white and what should be black.

PS: Hey Tony, can you guys make seat covers and trim custom ordered or just the preset colors?

I think i'm in the same boat as you are. I would love to have white but i dont know what should be white and what should be black... tough decisions i tell ya!
one of my friends had a white 4th gen interior in his dark blue 88 formula. the seats looked nice but i dont know about doing the WHOLE thing white. i think it would look good in moderation

We can do a stock seat color & pattern with an insert,but we do not have seat covers with patterns other than stock (if that makes sense)

Gotcha, thanks for the info.
I think it might look good ALL white, and if it doesn't I can just paint it black. I've also been browsing around craigslist and ebay and I think I want a pair of Fiero Formulas too! Ah it will never end, I need a real job
Thanks guys

I personally think white sounds cool. would also be original and probably one of a kind. If i did that I would either go with white leather or vinyl seats and the same on the upper part of the door panels and use carpet on the bottom door panels. I would really like to see this done! its like if rolls royce made a firebird or something. lol

Not that I'm aware of.However I did send that pic to the upholstery shop to see if they do have it,but may not be on the dealer sheet. If we do,I'll let yah know.
