Default Orange or Black leather seats?

I have a silverstone performance 350Z and I'm going to install leather seats for my car. Which color should I get? Orange or Black? I kinda like Orange but my friends say I should go for Black. I want to find out what all you guys think.

if you want to be suttle get black, if you really want to stand out get orange.
I kinda like the orange.

I like the touring black, mainly because the holes look orange which just makes for a cool look. aftermarket, Id say orange. or even red.

the black with silver is also good, basicly Id say anthing that looks stock, but not stock... different is nice, but better if it looks stock.

Ares - Those are the seats I have: Black with the orange holes.

I obviously vote Black but Orange is kinda cool too. With Silverstone though, I'd probably go with Black.

Do you have close up pictures of your aftermarket Katzkin leather seats (both the driver one and the passenger one)?

I had this dilemna a few months ago with my liquid aluminum. I ended up getting black. I felt the orange seats were a novelty that would grow old after a while. The only colors that really work well with burnt orange are SB and Lemans IMO.

The leather seats look like the factory one, are they really from Katzkin?
