    Major change in interior plans

    I went to visit my interior guy yesterday and we looked at some more leather and headliner samples. He's really good with colors and I liked his range of samples he had me look at. Given that the exterior of my car will be orange and some sort of off-white or beige in the rear and the interior will have some charcoal leather accents, I decided to abandon the beige/tan interior leather color and opt for something that complements the orange exterior better. This will eliminate my having to somehow coordinate the exterior beige/off-white paint with the interior color. We also decided to change the headliner from charcoal to an orangeish wool. I still think the headliner will contrast the chrome bows great, and it will lighten up the interior. There will still be plenty of charcoal on the floor, on the door panels, and in the cargo area.

    So now the plan is, from left to right sitting on the exterior color panel...

    Charcoal wool carpet (also at bottom 4-5" of doors), charcoal 3-pt. seatbelts, interior orange/tan leather (two choices to pick from but most likely the darker one), orange/tan wool headliner. The dash will be charcoal padded leather on top, but I'm not sure what color the bottom will be (may bring some orange into the car). The beltline trim will either be painted charcoal with matte clear, or covered with charcoal leather.

    The seatbelt webbing really match better than the pics show. It's hard to get the right colors with the camera, but you get the idea. I've been contemplating this change for a while now. Here's the prior colors I was considering:

    So now I may bring some of the car's rear color or interior charcoal color into the engine compartment. Still have to figure that out. We also decided that an orange frame would work best since the charcoal is only an accent color...at least that has always been my intention.
