Re: Interior color ideas

Just depends on what your taste is, for me I would probably do either a black or like a charcoal grey I think either would look sharp!

Re: Interior color ideas

If you need to buy aftermarket trim parts they usually come in black and you must paint them to the desired color - so have a black interior has some advantages. I personally think a red interior on a white vehicle looks the best.

It depends there's quite a few places you can get interior parts from. LMC, Classic Parts Industries, and Brother's are probably the 3 most popular. People do have there opinions of each as well a lot of people say for interior items LMC is okay but not the best. You could also check our vendors list that we have on the forum and could contact some of them too.

Check my build/intro thread, linked below.

There are a ton of pictures converting from red interior/red exterior to black interior/red exterior.

id like the red and blue but black is easier to find stuff to go with it. say if you swap steering wheels black is easier. red or blue mats harder to find. things like that.
