if i get the legend lime seats with my car do you think that might be too ricey? or would white be better to match my stripes?

I would stick with lime/black seats, no offense but not a fan of white seats even when two-toned

yeah, I dont llike the white seats either, they are hard as crap to keep clean, and its almost impossible... plus when they start to show signs of wear, they really show. Lime/Black might look cool.

If it is done right: NOT rice.

I don't like white seats either... first time you fart on them, they are done...

Definitely not ricey.
I wouldn't try to match my seats to any exterior part of the car unless it was a vert.
So black with lime would be my choice.

Black with Lime inserts would be cool...I've seen tan with lime inserts and they were cool too, but you have black interior.

+1 for black w/Lime insterts. That would be so cool. And what does this have to do with ricey? Rice is those Euro tail lights and maybe some body kits. But I'm a firm believer in "personalize to taste" whatever that might be.

Here's a grabber one we had done up by a Classic Soft Trim vendor (automotive essentials in MD-excellent company): Black leather, orange stitch, orange mustang script, and orange carbon fiber texture vinyl insert. Beautiful in person!(photo is oversaturated with my lousy camera) It had a shaker and a CDC chin spoiler put on it too.... Sold today as a matter of fact to a lady in her late 50's, she wasnt easy on the gas leaving either She's comming back to get either boss stripes or the black C-stripe done up too... Leather felt like a nice leather jacket, very good quality stuff. $990 cost installed. Good photo of the 08's silly seat belt guide too...




See if they have a classicsofttrim.com outlet near you(90% of dealers have a custom leather connection with them or katskinz). I gotta get my next 'creation' up to them. Not sure what I'm doing yet though, glassback and leather maybe... I handle all the custom stuff and will check the swatches to see what they have in green tomorrow...

If colored seats are 'rice' then someone needs to call Bentley

Not exactly Legend lime, but you get the picture. I think this would look great.

Like mrkabc said, if done right, it would be good. If not, it can be a color overload! I was so torn between black with blue inserts fron Katzkin's (they were the only ones who sell the blue perforated leather. I saw that MRT doesn't offer Vista Blue leather perforated), vs a custom creation I an ultimately doing on Tuesday. I decided that the blue inserts would be too much blue, and am having a custom restoration shop do up my seats a la Mach1 style. They are taking the seat backs out of each seat (front and rear), cutting out the top perforated roll in each, and will sew in a custom piece of Katzkin Perforated Pacific Blue leather into each seatback. This was chosen after seeing pics of Phil from Grand Design Mat's car, this was what I wanted, as the looks is subtle but sets the seats off nicely! If your unsure, I would have someone who is good at photochop, do a picture up for you in LL, just to be sure!
