I did mine in leather and it turned out fabulous. I got Carrera white with Terracotta and I thought the white seat back would be too stark a contrast. I think I made the right choice at least in this case. Has a very classy look to it.

Painted is the way to go, looks great at when headlights shine on them.

Those actually aren't OEM. They are Ociari or something like that. It's a shell that goes over the back of the seat.

My votes goes for painted backs. Looks great, especially on a vert.
