My satellite has a black exterior, and cream/white interior from legendary that is in OK shape but starting to show its age. I cover everything with a sheet on the rare occasions I park outside in the sun, but it is still yellowing with age and seats are starting to wear from my butt scooting across them.
I am in the beginning stages of planning an interior swap. First of all, I do not like the satellite/gtx interior with the western scroll. I much prefer the Belvedere II pattern. I also have the individual front seats with the buddy/seat armrest in the middle; I’m going to swap that out for a split bench. With the amount of nose down rake my car has, I use blocks under the driver seat to lean it back to a comfortable angle, I will be doing this to the whole bench.
So here are the questions/options that I am trying to hash out. I am 100% set on using red interior. The (black) car has hand painted red pinstripes and redline tires.
my thought is leave the carpet, Dash and package tray black, and do red door panels and seats.
I am torn between metallic red, and a brighter crimson. Legendary has a Belvedere pattern that is metallic red with cloth inserts, that looks really good. The only challenge will be getting them to make a custom cover in that B. II pattern for the rear seat back, which is of course different in the satellite. Also not sure if I want to do a red headliner or black.
What do you guys think?
