Tan Or Black Interior?

Time to start redoing my interior. First things first is to get the color changed. After that the long list of little things start.

So Vote:


TAN:


I've always thought of tan as being in high end cars and seeing as my car is red(corvette red) I though tan would really be a nice look. Along with that I also kinda want to keep away from the black/red combo as i think its just way to common.

Im also gonna be getting my seats re-done or getting some tan fourth gen seats and haveing something wrote in the headrest and along the top of the back seats(maybe just iroc-z) in tan letters. I also wanna do the headliner and speaker covers myself and atemp to add the flames in them useing foam.


BLACK:


Same thing as the tan interior just black, maybe even do the headliner and speaker cover in a lighter grey.




Any comments are welcomed.

I love a maroon exterior/tan interior, so red should be rather nice too. I had a red exterior/black leather interior and I must say it was absolutely awesome.

I like the tan too; I had a hard time finding interior plastics, and seatbelts to replaced my stock tan parts. Now that it is done, it was way worth it, not as common.

If tan (or cream for the EuroSceptics) interior for a red exterior is good enough for Ferrari, then it can't be bad at all.



I'd go tan every day!

A duller tan like what you find in 4th gens would look great.

The brighter, yellower tans like what came in the late 80s and early 90s corvettes are hideous. I consider the stock beechwood color like the TTAs had to be somewhere inbetween.
