Question Frost or Charcoal Leather?

Charcoal
Pro: Hides dirt/stains
Con: Attracts heat in summer

Frost
Pro: Doesn't get as hot in summer
Con: May show dirt/stain easily

What do you guys think?

PS. When you choose frost leather, is the dashboard and door panels also frost color or charcoal?

I like the frost. It has a good look. I've had the charc. and it gets hot. I test drove one Z w/Frost and it looked good. I believe it was the same as the rest besides the seats themselves. Unless your messy, I vote Frost

The problem is the frost interior looks cheap, it's like a really light grey plastic and vinyl...

That's not good. Have you seen it in person?

Here's some frost interior pix I found. So if you get frost leather, the dash and doorpanels are also frost? (some said the rhese would be the ordinary charcoal color )

Default Brickyard w/ Frost

I have a Brickyard w/ Frost. The interior seems "open" with the frost color. My drivers seat is a little dirty and I'm going to use some saddle soap to clean it up.

Yes - eveything else is frost also except the carpet (thank god)

depends on the exterior color.

Redline looks real sharp with the Frost interior but I would want a black interior on a CS.

I'm sorry guys, the cheap comment is just my opinion... When I first ordered my Z over 14 months ago (WOW! Long time!) I ordered 4 different models under different names. When I finally got them I had two CS cars, one w/ frost interior and the other w/ charcoal.. I got to see both of them and went w/ the charcoal because I felt the grey plastic material on the frost interior looked kind of cheap IMO... Of course that's just my opinion... The leather seats themselves, however, looked nice in that grey color, but the other interior parts look better in black..

I also have a Brickyard with Frost...love the combo...I like it brighter then a charcoal dark inside makes it. I've seen a Brick with charcoal to compare.
