hmmm, any thoughts?

As most of you know, I have an '02 C4S, Arctic Silver / Graphite Gray.

I am on the verge of buying a set of GT3 seats in Graphite Gray leather.
Since I have quite a bit of arctic silver inside already (rear center console, ac surround, batwing, center storage bins, arm rests, door handles, defroster surround, upper overhead console, side ac vents, instrument cluster surround), I think AS backs may be too much (but the standard black seat backs don't cut it).

So I am debating GG leather or GG paint in that soft touch finish the factory does much of the interior in.

Or maybe you can't have too much AS?

Doug, (mod man here)... I think you do need some sort of contrast between the seat-fronts and the seat-backs that enhances the lines of the seats. I think black would be a bit much. I'd go with the AS on the seats...

Another way to go would be to get a CF steering wheel, **** and handle, black floor mats and black seat fronts and with GG backs. That might work

Kirby, I have plain 'ol standard heated crumpled leather seats that I think I need to save / store for the inevitable swap back to stock and / or car sale.

Thanks Don, I agree that some sort of contrast may be needed. Hmmm, maybe black seat backs with GG leather, black floor mats, black CF wheel, etc...

Sandoval; Thanks for the picture link. I think that car interior looks good, but notice that there is not that much AS inside.

I suppose that if I have them painted AS and don't like it, they can always be covered in leather.

Doug,

You can't have too much A/S inside the car. I've had G/G before and it tends to be kind of flat, especially with G/G carpet. I like what you've done already with the A/S accents and think the seat backs would add nicely to what you've already done. Also, get the parts where the seat belts come through painted A/S also.

Eric

I think Arctic Silver accents look great on Black, Graphite Grey, and Boxster Red interior, I dont think you can have too much AS accetns on a GG interior, it looks great with the GG IMO.
