Default Can't decide...

I need some advice/help on a certain matter...

I have an appointment to get new leather in my SC 400 and since the leather is going to be black instead of the stock grey I decided to have my carpet dyed black. What I can't decide is should I have the ceiling redone in black to match the carpet or just keep it grey, I can't figure out which would look best so what would you, the SC 400 owners of Club Lexus, choose?

Thanks for any help!

P.S. I was thinking about it and I realized that I couldn’t even remember what other carmakers do? Do cars usually come with matching ceiling and carpet or do they come with two different colors?

I have stock black interior. My headliner isn't really black, it is kind of a dark gray.

so perhaps I shouldn't do black on black, maybe just have my headliner redone in a darker tone?

My friend just suggested to me that, since I am doing black seats with a gray center I should have black headliner and leave the moonroof cover Grey so it would match the seats, this sounded funny to me a first but then I though about it and now it doesn't seem that bad of an idea but could I get some opinions on this?

Thanks for the update Emerald, I've been wondering whose car I was driving around .

I'm looking for opinions on what it would look like because I don't want to find out I hate the new interior AFTER I spend $1k on getting it done.

soooo you're going to let strangers decide what you love or hate?

Im just sayin, build it the way YOU want it, because My opinion is to dye your interior Emerald Green...along with the exterior and rims

id make the headliner black

its not something i would really worry about or spend money on, but if you're doing it all in one swoop and have the funds to throw at it

then might as well make it all completely match
