How would this look?

How would my interior look with a black rug, black headliner, black and charcoal door panels, and a set of charcoal gray cloth 4th gen seats? Will it be too black? Should I off set the rug with a charcoal headliner and sailpanels? I dont my car to look too black. Or should I just go with the all black and charcoal seats? Here is the pic of the seats:

Get rid of those seats! I have a set of light grey that would look killer with that combo. I'll trade with you and even give you 100 bucks.

Let me know

Wow that sounds familiar. I just finished restoring my headliner and went with black. Ordering Graphite or Black carpet (haven't decided yet), same 4th gen seats, 4th gen console, and probably switching out to black plastic pieces or maybe dye them charcoal.

Original color was the medium grey. I'm happy with the looks so far on the pieces I have finished.

they're just fourth gen t/a seats cloth seats, nothing too sell a soul for. You might be able to find a set for a couple hundred bucks even. Hell, i picked up a 91 GTA leather interior (pretty good shape.. every single part except T-top bag/shades) for $300. GTA seats were the same except for the goofy headrest on the GTA.

But i think I might be switching to a black leather interior, anyone want a 91 tan leather interior?

I really like these seats. It is impossible to find a set of black seats, so I figured I would go with these. I just dont know if they will look out of place in a fully black interior. Should I get a charcoal headliner and sail panels? Or should I leave it completely black with gray seats? Let me know. Thanks.

I like all black and I hope I can sometime make my interior all black. Seats, headliner, side panels (how I don’t know), and carpet. I just think it looks much sharper with all black interiors.

if by side pannels you mean the plastic, paint over them with an interior paint, if you mean sail panels, then recover them wiht headliner material

Well, everything will be black but those charcoal gray seats. Would the gray seats look out of place? I have black plastic interior pieces from a '91 TA, I have a black rug, black door panels, now it is up to the seats and headliner. Should I make them both gray, so that the colors will balance out? Or should I get a black headliner as well, and just have gray seat?

Too black?? Never. Mine is totally black, inside and out Silver or gray accents would be cool. I saw some black T/A seats that had a light gray centers. Those would be cool.
