Two-Toned Seats?

I'm thinking of having my seats re-covered with fake leather instead of reproduction velour because I don't like the way it looks. My interior is all gray minus the console and dash, which are black, so I'm thinking of doing gray again, but doing the centers of the seats in black as well as the stitching. What do you think?

IMO I think gray (the light gray??) and the Black will be a bit too contrasting.



I grabbed a pair of stock seats that had the light gray on the outside and a darker gray in the middle.... Looks great IMO

I would have grabbed the rears too but they were totalyl torn up from the sun

Now that you mention it, I can see that.

Re: Two-Toned Seats?

new cars are doing that...the huge contrasting colors..... but IMO going with such contrasting colors looks so... racer boyish, while the gray / darker gray or something similar .... I recall seeing even stock red interiors with red and the lighter gray seats... looked a little more classy / less garish. .


thats just IMHO though lol
