Default New carpet for tan interior

So I have been on a quest to change over my crappy tan interior to black. I was thinking about having the black seats re upholstered with red in the middle kinda like the G8's have.

Now that I see this I'm thinking I should keep the tan and do the middles in black along with the middle of the door panels. Basically I'm looking into doing the opposite of what GM did with their tan and black. What do you guys think of the idea?

What's your budget?
You've got various options to, such as replacing panels, or just painting/wrapping them.
Personally, I dont like the tan at all, however, I do think the Camel interior is nice. Would look really sharp in a white car too.




You get the idea.

Maybe you should stick with the Camel interior. Although i do like the sound of the red inserts in the seats much like the G8`s have, it would seem a little too drab for me with the constant red and black colors (although they do kind of go together quite nicely). Personally my interior in my WS6 is all black, i mean ALL black. Its a bit.....uninteresting. I like the tan color though personally, but for it to really work, i think the carpet needs to be tan also. Idk, maybe thats just me, im not an expert when it comes to colors for interiors lol I wouldnt mind making my interior a little better also, but with a black car, the full black interior in my car kind of suits it just right.

All the seats pictured are factory optioned seats.
If yours look different they've either been reupholstered or yours might not have the lumbar function.

98-99 had different patterns on the seats plus I don't think they had the balast that blows up on th sides for the lumbars.

Honestly? I'd find a camel colored carpet to match the seats.

The OP has tan interior, not camel.
There was no "camel" colored carpet available, stock.
The Camel interior came with an ebony carpet.
