Please help me choose a paint/interior scheme!!
I already know basically what I will be going with for paint. The car is a 91 Firebird with t-tops and gfx and will be painted arctic white with blue ghost flames. Inside, I will be going with Corbeau Carrera seats but am not sure which color to go with. I will definitely have a dakotadigital dash in their blue color. The interior was originally gray but almost all of it is now removed. I will be going with a fourth gen console, and also the door panels too. I was thinking of going with blue leather seats with the black highlights like pictured on Corbeau's site but am unsure what to do about carpet. I'm open to all suggestions, no matter the cost.
Thanks!

I'm a fan of minimal accents, so here's my vote:
since you already have the eye-catching paintjob and dash work planned, adding even more accents with the seats might be too much, so i'd say black seats. just my opinion though.
then again small blue accents might work well on a black backdrop

I agree with Jim about the seats adding too much of an accent... however, you may want to try a carpet color that would look good with any exterior color -- this way, if you should ever decide to repaint your car, the interior wouldn't need redone. A grayish color comes to mind...

Yea, I understand what you are saying. There is a point where it becomes too much. My first thought was to go with the black seats that have the silver/gray accents and go with gray/silver carpet. I think that's what I'll end up doing, but I'm still open to ideas. Thanks.
