Default Chrome Silver Leather Question

Exactly how bad do you guys think the tan/orange leather seats would look in a chrome silver as compared to silverstone?

Anyone with a good photoshop?

Thanks,
Richard

it would look very nice but the reason why I did not choose the orange leather was because it gets dirty quickly, black is the best in my opinion

I had the option of getting the burnt orange seats when I ordered my Liquid aluminum but ended up getting the charcoal instead. The burnt orange works best with SB and Lemans IMO.

i would of got burnt orange had it been available on CS. I dont think everyone remembers, but the prototype CS HAD burnt orange interior. Very nice. But it looks best on track models because the brakes seem to accent the seats.

The orange seats dont get dirty easily. The reason why Nissan doesent offer Burnt Orange with the CS is because CS isnt dark enough. The Orange seats look great in draker color cars such as black and SilverStone.

I dunno bout that. In many lighting conditions its difficult to tell if a car is SS or CS. I've seen pics of a CS with Orange seats and it looked pretty good to me. I do agree that the darker colors generally look better though and Z2THDR's car (SS with orange seats) looks fantastic especially in shade where the SS stands out. My 2 cents.

Burnt Orange is available from the factory on Liquid Aluminum which is lighter than CS. Nissan's color schemes and options make no sense...

Soooo true.

BTW, I drove by a local Nissan dealer last weekend and stopped to look at a car with NISMO wheels. I noticed a silver car (I have CS) and went over to look. It was Liquid Aluminum but to me looked just like my CS. Maybe next to a CS it looks different but it is very subtle.

This is true. The metallic paint lightens up the SS to CS levels(in the sunlight). Orange/Tan should look nice in the CS, but the charcoal/black looks slick. This is why I chose black for my CS track. Like I've said before--Super black, Silverstone and Chrome Silver--are the only colors that make the Z look more expensive than it is. All other colors(DB still looks awesome, though) are novelties that will wear off--resale will be a b*tch.

In pictures its hard to tell, but in person its very easy to tell apart a CS from a SS.
