Default What color seats?

Corbeau CR1 seats

Blue/black

or

Red/black

or

grey/black

My car is silver with aluminum trim inside, roll bar painted silver. Want something that stands out but afraid that blue will be too bright.

i agree blue and red are too bright. I've seen your car from the inside and always loved the silver trim. I'd say out of those three my vote goes for the grey and black one.

good luck.

maybe you could post some pics of your interior to give the voters a better idea?

How close in color are those gray seats compared to the "dark gray" interior of the f-body?

Nothing looks worse than 2 like colors clashing. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

I'd stick with black, but... red/black would kick ***, that's what I'm going with.

I like the looks of the grey for your application. I think I'm going to get the all black for my NBM SS. None of the other colors really worked for me. Oh and if you find a good deal on them I would appreciate some info on it, thanks.

Man I am still wanting the blue. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I can't make up my mind. If I get the blue I would switch over the to Autometer Cobalt series pillar gauges and tach which are blue and black. Also my alipine has blue/black face. I could get other small accents in the interior like blue stitches on the shift boot. If they offerd the seats in silver/black it would be easy and I agree with MOBE about different shades of grey. Thankks for the votes at least I am not the only one that voted for blue. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> Like I said I would like something that stands out, and at 1k for a pair of seats they out to do more then let you sit in them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If you change all your insruments to blue and did blue I think it would look kick ***. That's why i didn't vote for blue, because the factory gauges are red. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> If the gauges were all blue, I'd do blue. Sounds like you have your mind made up man, you don't need our help. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Not sure on how close they match, I've never seen that color in person and I think the grey/black combo is a new offering in the CR1. I would love it if they were the same color as the exterior. Maybe Corbeau will do custom colors.

The black seats with grey interior wouldn't look right IMO. If its going to be a neutral color it would have to be grey. I have made up my mind, blue seats it is along with the autometer cobalt gauges. Myself and 4 other people on the board will like them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> If I end up not liking them I'm sure I could sell them.

Just got off the phone with Corbeau and they will do custom colors for an extra $100 a seat so I will get them in silver.
