jeremy Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I just made a post in the Auction watch section here about swapping my charcoal leather out for tan leather and I want your opinion. Here are a couple of pics of my old '95 Probe that I swapped in tan leather with the black interior and I loved the contrast and received tons of compliments from the probe forums about it. I wondered what the w-body community thinks about the contrast. I personally think that it would look even better because my cutty is black, plus I figure that if ferrari does black and tan in tons of their cars that it can't be that bad of an idea. Tell me what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaroonRegal Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I voted no. Not because I think the black/tan looks ugly, but because I think black/charcoal looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Tan is the worst interior color EVAR! Only on a green car does it contrast well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 pretty one sided so far....I do have to agree that tan by itself is rather ugly though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intlcutlass Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I like the seats (Now I want em for the Fiero if they fit) But stay with the original color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I like the seats (Now I want em for the Fiero if they fit) But stay with the original color scheme. what seats are you talking about? the ones in my probe, they are too high for a fiero... if you want good leather seats for the fiero, get custom ones made cheap from Mr. Mike. I had custom leather ones in each of my two old fieros and the quality was incredible. http://www.mrmikes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supreme_style21 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I guess it doesn't look too bad with the black mixed in.. I dunno if I would do it even with that. It would just bother me.. every time I looked anywhere.. all I'd see is tan! ahhhhh tan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topless94style Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I picture it in my head as looking awesome. BUt seeing that read in the probe with the black and tan i think looks ugly. IMO. But if you can keep it tan and black that will look better i think. Even with that though, still feels like something would be missing. Tan seats and all black interior...meh might need something else tan in there. I dunno id really have to look at it. I wont vote because im undecided.

joey b Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I love leather and I wouldn't put tan in my car over cloth ever. shit is so damn ugly. Now black, we're talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I think it would look cool, and contrast nicely. Plus you probably miss that interior of the probe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From looking at those pics of the Probe again I'm starting to feel the same way as topless94style. If the rest of the interior is all black.. I dunno I think I'd change my vote to 'no'. before I sold the probe, I changed the red piece back to black and added a custom tan shift boot, plus tan door handles, tan door lock and tan speaker grills from a tan interior parts car.....I just didn't take pics because I was lazy.... ....thanks to all for the opinions, I think the deciding factor will be how much I can get the seats for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearhead43 Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Ok Then, I think it will look great!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topless94style Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Hey go for it the colors i think would go well together. But again almost need somethign else on the interior to match the seats so they dont look to out of place. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you 100% ....I have a couple of ideas on what I will do.... ....on a side note, are the grand prix tan leather and the cutty tan leather the same color??? did the tan ever change by year???? If I decide to do this, I would like to go with quad buckets, but obviously GP fronts are controlled differently then my cutty ones are..... later guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topless94style Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 I almost think maybe atleast in my head this looks good, making the trim the same color as the seats. I can picture it but i dunno how good it would actually look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
