I really like the beige inside with the back around it, Im definitely going to look into that. I'm for sure getting the bird on the headrest.

I always had the idea of using seat covers like that combined with doing the same thing to the other interior panels.

Basically have the ebony black on all the plastics but the door inserts be in the tan and the carpet be the tan color and the seats be the ebony on the outside with the tan inserts like the ebay link.

I just never had the cash for doing the interior up like that.

Man if I found something like this I'd sell my WS6 in a heartbeat and buy a junkyard iron block to build out and swap into it with a fab 9 and run the ***** off of it.

Unfortunately this is all i've gotten done lately. Carpet comes in tomorrow, and i have Saturday off. Hopefully i get time to get it all put in! Seats still haven't gone out for reupholstering. My guy is busy for a week or so.

At least the door and window actually shut now.

Well, i got my carpet! I'm disappointed to say the least. Looks nothing like beige and the carpet is beyond wrinkled. Looks like a color from a 70-80s trans am...

Thanks, I hope they make it right. The way they packaged it I'm not even sure if I want to re order from them.

Sucks about the carpet, unless ur in a hurry, I would do whatever it takes to return that, and get better matching. Doing all that work deserves results worthy of your effort. I have no advice on where to get it tho sorry.
I would not setlle though.

I would change the carpet to black, but I'd have beige interior panels and black carpet. The seats haven't even left for reupholstery so I'm not in a hurry.

Get the upholster to wrap all the plastic panel to make them black so you can recreate a variation of this interior and be better looking then most f-bodies. If you notice on the doors it's a light colored insert with dark plastic.

Seats are going to be beige on the inside with black around it, and a black headrest. So black carpet might actually look good as is. I just am terrible at decisions.
