Default Interior Color Question...

I currently have cloth interior, but I am looking to upgrade to leather. I am a bit confused on the color of the interior and wondering which leather will look right with it without having to repalce everything. The window sticker says the interior color is Dark Pewter, which is what I am sure most Firebirds came with.

I would like to have Ebony Leather, but I am worried about it looking out of place. Is the stock interior plastic trim the same color on cars with Ebony and the Gray color? Or is the dash and all the door and side panels different between these two colors?

You and I have 1999 models. Don't even bother with the grey leather. A grey interior, grey door panels, grey leather and grey leather door panels looks horrible. Looks really cheap.

I went with Ebony (light colored black, almost like a very dark grey) and I think it looks nice. Add's a nice subtle two tone look that most people can't detect, almost like a factory color option.

What about the door panels? Did you get leather door panels as well or did you keep your cloth ones?

... I have the stock cloth panels. Waiting to find some ebony units cheap. It looks ghetto (to the untrained f-body eye).

Last question I swear... Is the plastic trim on the ebony door panels going to match up with the color of the other plastic trim on the dash and side panels?

Thanks for your help Joe.

The ebony will match your dashboard perfectly.

Your questions don't bother me.
