Color Combinations

I will be buying the tl soon but I am unsure about the color combinations to go with. I want the silver exterior but I don't know what interior color I should go with, quartz or ebony. Does anyone have any suggestions about the interior, I think I am leaning towards the quartz.

Thanks,
Derek

Quartz. The seats get hot enough in the sun without them being black also.

Ebony looks way nicer, classier, sportier. Quartz makes the car look

I gotta have a little contrast with my interiors...
I've only owned one car with black interior and it was the last. Just too plain in my book - obviously guys, just my opinion.

Both "fit" with the SSM, but I feel the quarts stands out.

As usual, get what you like, not what "we" may like.

i agree on the ebony, the quartz is nice and so are the tan leathers.. but i think the car was designed to have ebony matching all the silver accents inside...

My preference is NBP w/ Quartz... but w/ a caveat... Use the all season black mats instead of the standard quartz carpet ones. Gives a really good contrast w/ the exterior and interior trim.

Ebony is the way to go. It looks and feels very classy. If you tint your windows it won't get that hot either.

Just my ...I'd say if you go with a silver exterior, Ebony interior.

I really like the parchment I have on my RRP....the plood trim just adds a little more class.....but I do like that Ebony too. I think I would have with Ebony if I could have had the plood trim.

Ebony looks good near morning/evening and night.
On a hot day I like parchment better and fake wood makes it look classier

I do have Ebony/SSM

Go with QUARTZ

1) Quartz will age better than Ebony.
2) Ebony will show dust more often.
3) Quartz blends better with the aluminum accents. Ebony makes them stand out too much.
4) Ebony will get too hot in the sun.
5) Ebony will make the interior feel smaller.

I personally hate the carbon fiber trim and much prefer the wood trim, even if it is fake. That's why I got the parchment interior with the NPB exterior. But I came close to getting the SSM w/Quartz. It's a great combo.
