Switching from black leather to red nappa leather seats

[Jmanlevan]

Tan interior on a blue car is my all time favorite combo. It’s classy and sexy and looks like it could have come from the factory that way. Another combo that would be worth considering would be a white or light grey almost white interior. The white pops against the blue and both colors will really stand out and contrast with each other in a great way. I think all white seats with a blue stitch to match would look damn good. Ceramic coat the seats with a good interior ceramic and you won’t have to worry about jean dye transfer or dirt etc

Wouldn’t white look a little weird because the entire dash is black? Though I guess there’s the white stitching on premiums

The stitching is actually light grey in color.

could be, looks. Very similar but I believe the color I selected was the rosso red instead of red red, if that makes sense. Here were the samples I was sent

That's funny, "rosso red" means "red red"; rosso means red in Italian.

Absolutely not! White seats with a black dash looks perfectly normal.

these are pictures of a C8 corvette (I know I know) with white seats and an all black interior/black dash. Looks good in my opinion. These seats are not dirty. The perforation pattern in these specific seats is a larger diameter perforation fading to a smaller diameter perforation and makes the seats look dirty in a low res photo such as these but in person they do not look like that and the perforation design looks way better in real life.

What is the thing you used to fill in the cup holder?

Looks like the toyota cup holder ash tray.

Lexus Ashtray fits just about perfect, FYI.

Wow @Andrew4Supra they look amazing. I've been thinking about getting a pop of color into my interior since I got the car.

How close is that stitching color to the factory stitching color?

~ My local shop gave me the swatches to keep in both leather options. If you need me to pull colors for you... let me know.

Any chance you could take pics of the light to medium grey options? I'm thinking that they would go nice with strat blue.

Thank you.

The stitch is an exact match. Color: S0318

Here's a comparison of the new seat stitching and the door panel stitch to reference.

- Others are correct... it's a factory Toyota ashtray that I use for spare change and it also keeps your elbow from falling in the armrest hole. Part number below and less than $30

Random question, did you fit them with the extra rubber cup? I couldn't get them in with it on.

~ I did. I sprayed the two outer rubber rings with a foam glass cleaner (sprayway) as a lubricant and pressed it in place. Tight fit but now very secure and adjusted to the same height as the console.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was possible so I just let it go.. will try again because without it it just sits a tad too low. Cheers mate.
