Default interior customizing ideas....opinions

Have a 99 gs300....burnt orange....comes with the standard Grey blah tan blah interior....want something clean....was thinking of going black and losing the wood grain for orange accents to match the paint outside plans for being a show car so still a lot of upgrades in mind....trying to find the most cost effective way to get where I want to be....no problem piecing things together either......basically done outside just need to finish interior and save up for my aristo gte swap....any ideas or sources would be appreciated....

Body-matched interior bits rarely look good unless the car was designed with those touches from the start. Black interior would look good. Keep it clean and classy. As soon as you start to get cute with it, it's going to look like ***.

Well the only pieces I wanted the orange were where the wood grain is in the doors that's all....so just a splash to tie it in wouldn't look that bad right?

I can't see the orange looking good inside either. Blackwood always looks great with a black interior.

Ok so if I don't incorporate the orange I'll probably just go all black then and just put a high gloss black on all the plastic pieces of the interior...just not a fan of wood or flat finishes anymore

The classifieds section and/or ebay/craigslist would be my first few guesses...
