I have not seen anyone asking about what interior people have, so I decide to ask.

Now if you have a custom interior please post your interior for everyone to drool over it.

That is a SWEET option, Jordan! I loved that color, especially with Torch Red. It also helped spruce up the other neutral colors as well. It's an awesome choice. Unfortunately, it doesn't jive with Legend Lime, which is what I ultimately chose for exterior colors. My "Lucky" would have looked like a Christmas ornament!

For me, I liked the contrast between the bright color of Legend Lime and the dark shade of the charcoal interior.

Dark charcoal for me with the minor customization of two child safety seats and seat back covers for the front seats.

Medium Parchment Cloth (leather personally makes me feel too hot).

I think it looks best with an MG exterior. Produces a rich, finished look.

CUSTOM STUFF HERE......... No offense but I compared overall styling and quality grade of these leather seats which were on the car when I bought it to the factory leather in the GT's and :yes: they are nicer. My car is a six which the factoy leather is not as nice as the GT either.

Wow mostly Dark Charcoal and Dark Charcoal w/Red Leather.

I would have thought there would be a few more votes on the other colors then this.

Hi,

Not really sure They were on the car when I bought it (dealer installed) along with a custom dash package. The whole package retailed for $2400. I paid aprox $1200 for the whole thing. The factory leather would have been an extra $700 so I figure I did OK considering its much nicer then the factory stuff. I would not recommend the Leather that comes in the V6's but the GT's Leather is pretty good.

I am one of the seemingly few with LL + medium parchment leather interior...
Interestingly enough, when I saw a LL with dark charcoal I thought it didn't look great but when I saw it with Med.Parch. it was love at first sight !!!

I have Med Parchment Leather and when it is hot here it does not get near as hot as say a black leather ie the darker the more = light it will absorb, so it seems fine just have to watch what you wear that it does not rub off on the leather and keep a habit of whiping it down with a cleaner/conditioner for drying up. I take care of this gents persian carpets ( I can clean them with no color runs with the vegtible dyes ) and he keeps me filled with product .

DC Leather here. I wanted LG Leather like I had with my 03. But with a MG ar my choices were either MP, DC, or ICAP. And well, I hate the ICAP & the MP so, that didn't leave me many choices.

My mom's Ranger, my granpa's Contour, & my friends Maxima are all the MP interior. It's just not my cup of tea. And I HATE red or any form or Red (i.e. maroon, burgandy, etc.....) so no ICAP.

Nothing against any of you who have the ICAP or the MP, there're just not for me. Although the MP does look good with WB.

FYI, V6 with the ICAP is exactly the same interior as the GT. All other colors in leather is different than the GT.

I really like the two-tone of your custom seats ......I would pass on the stitched logo though.

I've got the black, err dark charcoal leather. I'm never really wanted leather before but it's much more comfy than I imagined and the cloth looked a tad crappy to me. One thing thats really nice about the leather your pants slide rather than give you a wedgy on long trips :P

I've got a Silver GT with the ICAP interior. I wasn't too crazy about it at first, but it's grown on me and now I love it!!

I compared the leather in the 6's to the GT's and It was quite different but did not look into the ICAP. As far as the stiching that's how it came. To me its not a big deal one way or another.

Sharkstang - am I correct in saying you do not have side airbags?? I don't see the telltale tag on the side of the seat. The custom job is very nice - congrats to you!

It looks as though your custom upholstery started with the basic 'sport bucket' ribbed seat kit from the GT but is not perforated leather. Correct??
