what color is your interior now? You want to be careful not to introduce another contrasting color

Well the interior is a dark grey now... With the black seats I would add factory Ebony:

Carpet/Mats
Vents/Radio/Gauge Bezel Trim
Center Console
E-Brake handle (the steering wheel and shiftknob are already black leather)
Seatbelts
Black Leather Door Inserts


That would be to tie in the black leather seats to the dark grey interior better... Now I am thinking black leather seats with charcoal suede inserts might just make it all work toegether really well...

Both seats posted were Arizens... If I went no suede I'd get them all REAL leather from madracing for $399 + $75 shipping...

If I went suede it would be from Arizen (madracing does not have suede) for $400 + $69 shipping (they are some leftovers they are trying to sell)...
