Default Black seats with gray interior?

I have the gray interior with cloth seats. I would love to save some weight and put in some nice supportive race seats.

I have looked at some Recaro's and Bride's. A pair of those would be great but I wonder what the all gray interior would look like with black seats.

I was thinking about dying or recovering the arm rest with similar material to match. I am also going to replay the gray steering wheel with a black leather wheel of some description.

Anyone have pictures of a gray interior with different coloured seats? Would love to see if anyone has done it before and how it looks.

Matt.

i would think grey interior with black seats would look sweet.

your on the right track by switching a few small things here and there to black, and make a 2 tone. like do the arm rest, get a black steering wheel maybe.
maybe even a black console and you can 2 tone your door panels like scotturnot

You could go a step further and do a 2 tone black/gray. Not sure how it would look. I know there are other cars out there with that combo though...

Is it me, or do the SC's with the gray interior have like 3 different colors of gray on the inside. Like the door panels are one shade, while the upper and lower dashboard pieces are different shades as well. The only reason I ask is because I have gray interior myself, and thought it was just something weird about my car, lol. Anyone know if this is the way the interiors actually came from the factory, or are they just dulling and/or sun fading in some areas? Just curious...
