Default White leather and white car

Just picked up some white leather interior for my car. Also got some black lightweight carpet installed. It had dark gray carpet and dark gray interior. I like this much better.

Oh man are you going to regret this later. My car was ordered with white leather from the factory and needless to say 7 years later it looks like a dirty white ***.

I got the carpet from a friend who bought it used. So not sure where it originally came from. It is cut to fit our cars, but isn't molded like factory. So let me just say it fits, just it's not show worthy

I really like the white leather seats and wonder if they would look just as good with medium gray carpet. Did you do the back seats too?

HAHAHA so true. My White seats definately looked like *** so I replaced them with Recaro's. You cant argue with how nice white seats look when they're new.

Looks good! I agree it could use white face gauges. Nothing looks better than white leather and black carpet IMO.

I love how that looks . The original camaro I was going to buy was a white 99 SS with white leather. Obviously I changed my mind, but I still love it.

Oxyclean, its this powder that you mix with water and it gets almost any stain out. I had 5 year old stains in my thirdgen come out with oxyclean. You can find it near the laundry detergent at any store.

Looks great!

I am looking at getting some white factory style seats for my SS, found a set for $800 complete/new. If you take care of them they will look great for years, my 99 30th WS6 seats still look new.
