Honest they look ok but the seat needs more black up top,they should have ran it all the way up,and just left the centers white,than maybe black stiching in the white part,and maybe put a bird in the headrest ,I gonna say your car is white,?

Now that you mention it, it sort of does look like a penguin lol, but I like it none the less. I think it will look good when your done wrapping the doors, and the center console, maybe a white shifter boot, and ebrake. Yah maybe white strips on the ws6 good on the side of it would help tie everything together.

looks good, but I'd add some white stitching to the headrests. they kinda look out place on top of all that white. Post some pics of the car itself. looks black, would like to see the overall color scheme. Keep us posted on the door panels!!

I'd put a big white screaming chicken on the hood. Then again, that's my suggestion for nearly every Firebird.

I like them. May want to be careful about doing too much more though, too much contrast can overwhelm the interior. I recommend running the seats alone for a year and then consider the arm rest and headliner, etc.

this is all true, and thanks all for the comments. yes i do have some other white in the interior, but not happy with it and it may change with the door panels i think will give me clarity. shift boots black with white piping or stitching yes, headliner black. car is all black, used to have some white outside, but i like the all black. and yes i got the hood bird! will finish doors after X-mas unfortunately...
and i understand too much contrast... this is the challenge


1st pic - old white stuff
2nd - current minus hood
3rd - " minus hood n front bird
4th - current hood, and all blacked out, badges, corners, except tails...
