What interior color for a white car?

I would have checked reader's rides but that's been broken for years along with the RPO decoder.

I have a 91 Firebird white, with a gray interior. I can not stand that color anymore so would would be a good interior color to go with? I am not opposed to darker shades of gray or mixed colors as long as they blend well. I'm talking carpet, seats, all panels, headliner, dash, door panels, etc. Pics are welcome.

Thanks.

I'm not in the majority here, but I think a red interior looks best with a white car. The only thing is, the red has to be in fantastic condition, because as soon as it gets dirty, worn or faded, it really starts to look like hell.

A combo of red and black could look real good too if it was done right.

Black and White, has a good contrast.

Of course being a white car you can make it almost any color. Unlike a Red car you can use Blue, Green, Purple, whatever you like... Break out the ole spray paint and dies

my white firebird has black interior with gray acents (on the door pannels and down the center of the seats) looks very nice. came that way too!

also, as long as you are swapping out interior, you may want to upgrade to a 4th gen console.
