Im not a VIP expert but I really like the diamond stitched seats like you posted! I think it would look really great in red... or black and red two tone maybe? I wonder if someone could photoshop some different colors

Hi

I think if you look at some Bentley, Rolls Royce and other very high end vehicles, you would get some ideas to work with.

The diamond tufted interiors is one of the most i have seen in that stratosphere.

Good luck and do show pictures of what you have done.

I believe we would all like to see.

That thing flopped on the dash looks terrible but I like the seats.

One trend that's popular in really expensive cars now is the night sky headliner. Take a dark headliner, poke holes in it and back light it with LED's or a fiber optic array. I know for the GS this is a ton of work because the windshield has to be removed before the headliner comes out because it's too wide to leave the car any other way. I imagine the LS may have the same challenge.

I agree.....the dash pad does not go. I like piano black instead of wood trim on black interior cars. Headliner change is cool.....maybe even LED style where the LED's look like stars. I would change the wood floor for a custom set of deep pile mats with contrasting stitch and follow the contrasting stitch work into the seats if you change them.

Lots of used older Bentleys on the market. I can only imagine all the headaches, rattling and squeaking after doing your customizing. Each to their own.

The leather seating surface does not appear to be porous. Does this interfere with the seat ventilation (cooling) system?
