    Two tone interior

    Swapped out my natural tan door pulls for black. The tans had faded different colors from the door cards. Had already replaced my tan mats with black OEMs.

    Added pics of blacked side cards.

    Ive thought about doing something similar, but I think it needs a bit more black.

    If you like it, thats all that matters

        This is actually a very old cheap and easy mod to do.

              Yep, concur. Just didn't see many pics available since PhotoSuckit decided to kill most of the post pics. So I uploaded my pics so someone else could visualize it. That is one of the things that makes R3v cool for fixing up your car.

                Used Bluebeam instead of Photoshop; so-so results.

                  Did it in my first and second e30. Let me see if i can dig up the pictures....

                  EDIT: Couldn't find my first one. But did find one of my last one. My current e30 i think i'm keeping the tan on tan, since there isn't much fading with it.

                          Too much for me. Looses the balance of the interior with that much black.

                            Whoever reupholstered my 87's seats previously thought it'd be a good idea to two tone them. It bugs the crap out of me.

                              I like the pics of e30s with tan seats with black centers. Yours similar?
