What do you think of an all white interior?

I have an 88 GTA which is painted white. It has a grey interior with cloth seats at the moment, but I keep thinking about how it would look with an all white interior with white leather seats. Do you think this would be too much white? I doubt I'll do this anytime soon, but I think it would look good. Might be harder to keep clean, but I'm pretty **** about keeping it clean as it is. Matt

Honestly, I am not a fan of white interiors.

I liked the sound of the black/grey two-tone idea you posted in one of my earlier threads.

However, keep in mind that its your car and it reflects your tastes. Do what YOU really like and will make YOU happy. If you like it, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

all white would be too much, I would do black plastic, black carpet white leather seats, mix on door panel and black headliner.

You could Paint some of the interior trim peices in white and others in black same with doing the seats if they have the sone wide strip down the back and on the bottom try a white black white black pattern I would just avoid a solid white it sounds cool but would just be over board

Love the idea. If you could keep it clean, man that would be awesome.

(I got a white IROC, and have had the same idea) Nobody makes white carpewt/trim though that i'm aware of.

Of course, in a few months/years that'll be brown carpet with black seats.

LoL, actually I keep my stuff pretty clean, although a white carpet will be a heavy task, but I am the only one who rides in my car, very rarely my wife and I will go out. Like I said, I ordered black instead but think white carpet w/ black leather would be jaw dropping. I think white leather and black carpet looks good to but I feel the opposite will have a much better impact.

I love white interior, but I think on white car, it may be a little much.

IMO

If it was broken up a little i dont think it would look too bad.
I had a 74 barracuda with black carpet, dash, center console and white seats, headliner, door panles and trim. it looked pretty good.
sorry no pics it was almost 10 years ago i had it.
