I've been thinking about doing this as well with fixed back seats. It would look sharp.

The black door cards should look good. I'm sure you dont like grey interior as much as the next person (or me). But I think with those seats with the gray alcantara pads on the shoulders, if you had gray leather inserts into the black door panel front and rear that would look amazing. It would tie into the seats really well. Just an idea, gray leather door inserts but keep everything else black.

Hmm definitely a cool idea. That would tie things in nicely! Going to put the black ones in for now and maybe source some gray inserts down the road.

Oh and another thing. Turning the airbag light off. You need the oem receptacles. If you just use the ones we have on now, the car will always throw the light due to the belt plug not plugged in. Got it all explained to me at my shop this afternoon. Going to see if I can get the oem receptacles on when I get some time.

I know the bolt to take the seat belt assembly was a T50, but had second guesses after. Either way if you picked up that bit set you should've been good

Looks good! I've really been contemplating lately and I as much as I want 4.10 and BBK I think seats might be next (if I buy new). I do a lot of driving so it should help out with my back pains.

T50 was it!

All up to you, but I am glad I did the seats first. Now I can focus on learning on the stock brakes and then move up to the bbk when I'm ready.

Thank you. I think if you saw them on person you would think otherwise. The seats are gorgeous. Little racer boyish but I went for what felt good to me. Not for looks.

You still going for a black leather interior? I kinda like the combo the way it sits.

Haha yeah it doesnt look too bad. Colors are just all over the place and looking to just get it more in unison. Plus I want something that hides dirt a bit better. Trading tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks fellas. I know black is a bit more ordinary than the cinnamon, but it's really a nice change for me. Looks super clean and "rich" looking. I've had it in for 1 day and I'm already used to it and don't miss the cinnamon one bit. Love the new look and feel of the car! I plan on getting the car cleaned up, removing the tint, and taking some better photos of its current stage. I'll be sure to post them up when I get some time.
