Interior Suggestions

[SittinOnDubsWGW]

Hey whats goin on guys, well I am debating on what to do with my interior. My car (93 fastback) is currently the stock dark green, but I am going to repaint it whenever I get enough saved up for a kit (Uras).

I am contemplating on basically 3 different shades of green right now, and here they are in order of preference.

1. Dark British Racing Green like on the Bentley Le Mans cars.

2. More of a "traditional" green color like the green in the John Deere logo.

3. And finally kind of a brighter metallic green, this is the closest example that I could really find a pic of on here, but I've seen pics posted on here of some S14's from Japanese drift mags, that are exactly the color I'm talking about.

For the interior I have been thinking about going with red seats, and the majority of the rest of the interior being black and possibly small subtle accents in red. My only concern is that my car might end up looking like a damn Christmas tree w/ the red & green combo.

Let me know what you guys think, and if you have any other suggestions on what would look clean throw them out there.

Thanks a lot guys.

IMHO i would just have a gloss black interior with some brushed aluminum trimmings... but that le manns green is BAD*SS!

such a classic color

I say go with aluminum trim/misc aluminum items (shift knob, steering wheel, etc). As for seats and carpet, I suggest going with tan. This combination looks very good on Hulk Hogan's (or is it his son's) car. I'll post pics later.

BRITISH RACING GREEN!!! That is the best green. Have you seen rx-7 Montego Blue (its like a blue green)?

If he has dark green he already has the stock tan interior, and it's NASTY, IMO.

Stock black interior. Don't paint any of the trim, especially in colors, that looks trashy. '89-'90 charcoal tight weave carpet. If you get red seats, let the red accents be matching red fabric on the glovebox and door panels in place of the stock tweed. Otherwise, black seats and black fabric on those areas.

Yes, I unfortunately do have the stock tan interior which is nasty. I plan on having all of the trim and dash dyed (quality work, not ghetto spray can job) to black. What you said about matching fabric on the glovebox and door panels is EXACTLY what I planned on doing along with having the headliner redone.. For carpet I planned on going w/ black also, I have saved on my favorites a place at work for a complete carpet kit for like $340 shipped.
