ditto... black with white inserts would like excellent. If the white seats had a black insert instead of the weird grayish thing going on, i'd probably go for those first, though.

Any white at all in the seats is a BAD idea.

Not really, my parents run a leather repair business so cleaning them is nothing to me and if it gets bad I can re dye the seats myself. I like the classic look of the houndstooth from the 69 Camaro and thought it would make a cool throw back on a modern Camaro. Oh well nobody likes em but I still cant decide.

Get houndstooth on the door panels to match, then. It's about what you like, not us. We're just here to trash your work if we don't like it.

In all honesty, those white seats by themselves wouldn't look too good inside. But with a well-matching interior, they could look great.

Well thanks for the advice, I doubt I will get the houndstooth due to cost. I will find out soon though.

Well I ordered the second pair with white inserts instead of the grey in the picture. Not a single vote for the houndstooth, oh well they should still look sweet.

The real reason I went with the second pair is yearone want $411 for the FRONT seats only! $219 for the rear and that aint even shipped! The second set comes with the hog ring pliers and hog rings and is a complete set for $440.

I was thinking the 2nd set with houndstooth insert. The white seats would be too much white, but the dark grey seats with houndstooth would look awesome.
