My interior came with tan from the factory, most of which has been replaced wit graphite carpet and pannels, head liners and sun visors will be the next to go over to graphite. Not sure what I'm doing about the seats and door pannels.

What is the correct name for that color MRMTrans Am or One2Run? I have been thinking that the taupe? would look killer on my MRM TA.


Thanks

Bob

Taupe is what Pontiac called it, I believe Chevy called it Neutral. Camel is a little bit darker and doesn't have a "tan" colored carpet or door panels.

I've seen it listed as "Neutral" more than anything.

Taupe = Neutral
Neutral = Taupe

Pick one.

GM changes the names for both their interior & exterior colors like almost every year.......on my window sticker (which is in a box in storage somewhere) it says:

Navy Blue Metallic Exterior/NEUTRAL interior........it is a 2002 model year. Who knows if Chevy had the same or if it was diff in other years. My '00 WS6 was Arctic White with "Ebony" interior......seemed more charcoal to me, not so much black, but whatever, I think some assclown just sits in a room and tries to find as many different ways to describe the same damn colors and then sells those names to GM.

Blk/tan here too. Can't wait to get rid of the tan and go all black, leather carpet doors etc. Tan will still burn your *** off and make you sweat. Don't believe me then bring it to FL if you don't already live here. Tan looks good, but getting the plastic panels clean is a real PITA. I guess I would love her in almost any color though.

Same here....not as many Tan/taupe interiors running around as black but I have learned to love mine! It is hard to clean and you see the cracks more but I can't help but think that mine is rarer than black makes me sleep better at night! lol Its better than my ugly red interior in my Iroc I'll tell you that!

I took my car to Florida six years ago, and make the mistake of getting in my car (that had been closed up and outside all day) without my shirt on...I won't ever make that mistake again.

The plastic panels are certainly hard to clean. I've never gotten mine completely clean.

I do believe (and I could be wrong) that it is for the color Medium Red Metallic..........

y2k TA any pics of those black mats in your car? I wish my interior was as nice as some of the ones here. I guess 140k takes its toll.

The work Digital Camera sucks I know.

Hence why I said I could be wrong.

As for it being the best color....to each their own.
