After my last post about black and tan interior, it was apparent that no one really had this color combo, at least not that I could find. I'v wanted to reupholster my 4th gen seats for sometime now so I just decided to bite the bullet and do black and tan seats even though I didn't really know how it would turn out. I just got back the custom seat covers and it looks like I made a good choice. What do you guys think? Hopefully I can install them soon.

 

One more

 

This is what my seats look like now. I will probably replace the brown door handles with black to match more with the new seats.

 

I think that will look great! I would recover the upper portion of the door panel in black. I think it would carry the lines of the dash well. Who made those covers? Make sure you get yourself a pair of hog-ring pliars and some hog rings.

 

Looks great to me! I find it interesting that you did the bolsters tan and the center inserts black. It's opposite of what I would have envisioned (typically the dark color goes on the outer parts of the seat) but I think it looks fantastic! Good choice!

 

I originally wanted black on the outside but I thought it would be to much black for a mostly tan interior. I think it came out great though and I'm probably going to get black armrests to match the new seats.

 

Absolutely love it!

I'm doing a factory style black/tan in my car, I hope it turns out half as good as that.

 

Wow man looks amazing if you ask me. Awsome job

 

The covergirl did the seats for me, she did a great job and sent me samples to make sure the colors matched up

 

That looks great!I might consider some black sail panels to complement the rest.Just a thought.

I thought the cover girl was out of business or having issues of some sort?

Yea she closed down her website but I pm'd her a few months ago and she said she still did seat covers.

I like the idea of black sail panels, I'll have to look into that.

 

so,those are just slip on seat covers?What kind of material?

I`ve been wanting to go black and tan as well.

 

Its fake leather but they are not slip on, they replaced the old material. I had to take the old ones off and use hog rigs to put the new ones on.

 

I just ordered black arm rests today and I am going to mock up some black sail panels to see how it looks before I buy the real thing.

 

Got to admit first picture I did not like them at all; however on the car they look great.

Seeing is beleiving!!!

 

I fabed up some black sail panels to see how it looked before I bought new ones. I think it looks pretty good in black.

 

seats look great!

that black sail panel looks out of place.

 

Yea I can't decide if I really like the black sale panel. I did put black door handles in though and I think it looks better.
