thinking about doing this to my seats...

So i saw pictures of this TL on cardomain and want to get some feedback if you think it looks good or not. My interior is tan and would like to do the two tone black/tan look like this picture:

It doesn't look that bad. Not really a color combo I'd go for, but hey it's your car not mine.

I've actually thought of doing suede inserts in the seats. Just not sure if I want to do black and do a black headliner, or do a gray like the headliner

^I know I've seen it on CarDomain before but I can't find it. It's the blue TL with the lavender top half on 22s that everybody does over.

As for your seats, I like the ones pictured, but I would prefer all black as well

Honestly, very few two tone combo's work. I suggest black and silver (like the TL-S), maybe Black/Brown or Black/Red combo....

This TL has been posted many times on here before. I actually think the interior color scheme is not THAT bad. Would definately not be my first choice though.

Oh and everything else about that car is just horrendous

The leather on these seats suck ass.. I plan on doing something custom as well. I have grey interior and would like to do black with grey seats. I won't run the black all n the center I will run it half on the lower back and half on the end of bottem part of the seat. In other words 50% of the center to be black. In those pictures he has the entire centers to head rest black. I would just do the bottem center half and the half of the lower part of the seat. I would leave the rest of the seat grey.

Not all have gone rice but i think people are trying to go in routes that weren't explored before and be unique.

i see nothing rice about this tl...its more DUB style gone terribly bad...err worse. however, the interior is at least tastefully done for a show car, and the car didnt look THAT bad in his first phase with the blue on blue.

its not bad , but i think its too drastic of a change in colors. i mean the shades , on the other hand if it was gray and black that would flow better then the beige and black

I think it might look better with the black on the outsides of the seats, and the tan in the middle.

IMO, if you're going two-tone, it looks better when the inserts are the lighter color and the rest is the darker color

The two colors contrast too much. I like the two tone, you just need a color that flows better with the tan. Gl.
