My car is B5 blue. Current interior has white seats that are dirty and hard to keep clean. I wanted to go all black interior, but I think sometimes with that a lot of detail is lost. I'm thinking just a tad lighter might be better. Anyone here do their interior in off-black or some shade of gray instead of jet black? Legendary offers several vinyl color options in dark gray or charcoal or silver grained black that I am considering.

if your seats are in good shape(minus rips-seams opening ) Try cleaning first--With Saddle Soap and a soft brush--unless you just want to upgrade or change them--you might be suprised by what you get with a good cleaning.. my 2cents (especialy white seats)

I did mine in two tone grays. The light gray matches the dash and piller covers. Carpet is a dark slate gray. I'm right in the process of using the same colors and fabrics on the trunk.

Very nice, I like the colors. I did mine in black leather with stitching to match the car (orange). The leather is of a more mat look instead of the glossy look of the originals, it really looks nice and looks way better then original.

Looks killer! Thanks for the great photos. Where did you get the carpet from? I'm ordering mine from Motor Parts South, but he said gray wasn't an option, so i ordered black.

With the Charger, the car started out green/green with a whity vinyl top. There was no way that I was restoring the car to that condition. I wanted Red from the git-go but it sorta limits the interior colors. Red on red isn't bad, but it wasn't my style, same with a tan interior. Black seemed like the expected color, but I wanted a bit more POP. I went with a Charcoal/Black combo. The door panels and seats are Charcoal and the rest is matte black.
