Default Any 2-tone (black/red) custom interiors?

I'm thinking about going two-tone black/red leather on my 2002 Absolutely Red SC430. Just wondering if anyone has done such a mod or may know of pix floating around?

thanks - that link also showed the two-tone colors for the 'Eternal Jewell" editions. These give me a better idea of the two-toned options that work (and don't work). Pretty easy to get too many colors happening inside. Right now the car is absolutely red exterior with an Ecru interior.

I actually really like the beige with the red, I dont think I have seen anything other then beige and black on a red car.. What is your trim color? is it the yellowish one? I think just changing the trim color can make a huge difference. Or maybe keep beige but the sides a darker color? personally I dont think red interior would look good on a red car. Maybe red stiching would though

I really want the piano black from the pebble beach edition with my interior :/

thanks for your thoughts. I have the Ecru interior - that light beige color. Have to think carefully about changing the color of the seats since there is a lot of plastic on those seats (backs, pedestal with controls) that will stay Ecru unless I paint them. Lot's of options to think through

I guess he wrapped it with 3m vinyl.. I just dont know how well it could be done on the steering and shift **** (he didnt do the shift ****).. and I have used this stuff before on another car but it can bubble under very hot sun.. I think some 3m liquid product has to be applied before though.. Looks great
