Seats retrim.

Hey. I'm thinking of retrimming my seats in leather/vinyl. My brother is a motor trimmer and can do them pretty cheap, but I'm kinda iffy when choosing the colour. What do you think would be an awesome colour?

Black?
Charcoal?
Dark Grey?
Maroon?

I saw a sample of the charcoal tonight, which is based on the leather from the BA Falcon. It's sort of got a "matt" finish, as opposed to regular shiny vinyl, and I'm also wondering if perforated inserts would look nice. I'm sure they would.

Last retrim in the Corolla only set me back $300.

Waddayas reckon?

i wish i had black, instead of this putrid mix of "purple" and Greyish black.. it looks like mud.

Weezer,

I'm looking at doing my car as well ... Would your brother do two cars? smile

I'd go charcoal, as our cars have the black on grey interior, rather than the all black ...

Cheers,
David

i guess he could. i dunno what he'd charge you though. i'm sure he could do a mates rates kinda thing, so not too dear. plus once he has one seat template it's all easy, and buying the material in bulk would make it cheaper me thinks. i'd have to ask him.

but yeah, i'm leaning more towards the matt charcoal as it's not as shiny as regular vinyl.

Well, I'm down for it ... smile

I'd retrim the doors as well to the same colour as the seats ...

i love the black/orange from that 2003 blitzen B4.

but i reckon plain charcoal would look sweet.
