    Poll: What Should I Do To My Interior?

    I'm going to redo my seats, and I'm wondering what color I should go with? My current color is cardinal. If I do cardinal again, it wont be "cardinal" it'll be a little bit darker.

    Keep in mind I drive a white cabby.

                IMHO you have to have some color. IIRC, white, black and grey are not colors (what did they call them - shades, or tones or something). So a white exterior needs a color interior - cardinal is nice if in good shape. I've seen navy and thought it looked very nice. Maybe break up the cardinal with cloth inserts, like Greg suggests. An interior like UNHCLL's would be dynamite.

                    Anybody have experience with doing deep cleans and dying leather? I came to the realization that my front seats are fine aside from the bolsters, and I could probalby get away with just a new bolster kit. I think if I were to redye the panels, freshen them up, they'd look pretty good. I'd have to figure something out with the back seat... I'm resourceful :)

                    Any thoughts?


                    OOhh... Anybody know where I can get the motorsport fabric?

                            I've got an all black car, black sport seats, no A/C, in the California valley :P
                            Guess I'm jsut used to it.
                            If your slipping, taking off your shirt helps like it's glue haha.

                            How are the Cloth more durable :?: I always figured they ripped way easier.

                              Dark red cloth would look interesting, and would retain that sick red. Or would that look totally disgusting? I guess I need a picture of that to figure or not. Who knows...

                              I'm looking for the huge bolser E30 seats Greg has, want to do a sick checker pattern in grey/black
