Which Colour Combo?

Which one do you prefer:

1.


2. (Colour Matched Back of Seats)


3.


And do you think the leather is the same in 2 & 3 but the light makes is look different, or are they 2 different shades of leather?

c4s 2nv is infamous around these parts
1. white on black - cuz c4s in white is rare

2. black on natural brown - bright interior is whats in now, blacks getting boring

3. grey on tan - dunno... doesnt really match

sometimes color combo can affect pricing. u would probably pay the most for the white c4s.

I'd go with # 2 due to the matching seat backs which look great in a cab and the easier maintenance of grey vs. black...

#2. Black is hard to keep clean and swirl free.

My gut tells me the White/Black combo. I like the colour matched back of the seat on the Gray. Wonder what the cost would be to do the same setup in the White car with White backs of the seats?

White with Black Interior; rare color, easy exterior maintenance. If you decide to paint some interior pieces, (center console, center and side vents etc...), the black and white contrast will look really sporty. Depending on which seats the car has, you may have to modify in order to paint the back. Either way, all 3 options are nice.

The back of the seats in the white model appear to be leather, so I'm assuming a swap would be needed to get the colour matched backs.
