Default DB owners with Aftermarket Leather seats! Help!

Need help picking a good combination and I want to do something other than just black, although i'm afraid cause the only picture that i've seen with two-tone seats is the one with the lighter blue insert, which is far lighter than the DB color, which i dont' like at all.

can someone who has a different combo post pics or suggest colors ? thanks!

desiZ,

I got a two tone combo of charcoal and grey. Check in this thread for a picture:

The charcoal is not pure black, it is a little lighter and matches the seat frame, doors, console, etc. I picked the grey so it would be something lighter to offset the dark interior.

well, if you wan't something that stands out go with orange because blue and orange are on opposites sides of the color spectrum...

I am actually thinking about what i want to do with my seats, and I am not sure if I want to add orange into my color scheme yet or not. Right now I am black/Blue but I am thinking of getting small accent orange in the engine bay and interior considering the gauges are orange....

i was thinking about getting ALL BLUE seats with black stitching and a fairladyZ logo in black and silver or in black and orange depending on if I choose to get orange in there....

I was going to do two-tone but everyone is doing it, and I want to do something different, but I am not brave enought to put bright orange seats in the Z....

I just don't know!!!!!!! also thinking of the recaro or brides in black with accent blue.... sigh... who knows!

I do know this, I saw a white Z with all white seats and it was the hottest look ever!! If I had a black car, my decision would be alot easier, all blue....

Hey Warren, I vote for some shade of gray with blue stitching.. simple and nice.. either that or plain black boring i know but safe..

if I was feeling radical, I'd try yellow.. or maybe an alpine light bluish white.. might look nice?

Mike has a great suggestion........Whatever color, or shade seat you go with, consider blue,(or ?) color piping to accent.......

the pacific blue color is not as light as you think...the color looks exstrememly off in photos with low resulation... but if seen in person or in high res. the blue is ALOT closer to the DB... you won't get a Blue that matched the DB perfect since it is metallic, but the pacific blue matches well....
