Default lets see your TAN interiors.

I didn't see this in the Mega thread.

But I'm looking to get some ideas of what to do on a Tan interior. I had tan seats, carpet headliner, and a patch of tan on the door panels.

What would look good and what would be a mistake? I'm thinking of maybe a tan shift-boot. Not sure yet.. But I'm also in need of some Lloyd's mats.







And a roll-cage..................... Eventually..

I LOVE a clean tan interior. The one thing I don't like is how GM mixed the door panels. I'd spray them either all tan or all black. Hmmm..

In for pics nevertheless!

I'm curious too. I have tan, and I was just thinking the other day about what I could do to upgrade it.

I like the tan, it's different, and it looks awesome with the NBM paint.

Here's mine. It still pretty much looks the same, except for the addition of a Raptor shift light. Wondering if I can find some suede to match, I can cover the armrest/console thing.

It's generally pretty clean, but I'd still like to take a steam cleaner to it.


I had this piece of diamond plate in the car I had before this. It fit, so I used it.
