Interior Upholstery
Monday, December 20, 2010 6:41 PM
Ok... so I have seen Teddy's car and some others and I have decided it is time to reupholster my door panel carpeting and headliner. However I can't decide what color, pattern, or material to use. If I could get some opinions on what to do (that would look good) it would be greatly appreciated. If it helps, my dash panel is color matched to the yellow of my car. Thanks!

black. there's not a whole lot that's going to go with yellow and not look tacky.

what color is your interior now, charcoal?Black? if black id suggest an upolstery vynil for the fabric,do the headliner black with that,will make it nice and smooth instead of the stock fabric, the center console arm rest lid same material just yellow as well as the door panels/door pockets, keep it simple, if its charcoal colored obviously use in place of black. and maybe the back window deck.

My interior is the charcoalish color and the dark seats with the white speckles and tan headliner. So a plaid kind of thing wouldnt work? Just go plain colored? Just tryin to get a feel for what i shouldnt do. Thanks!

this.

nobody said you couldn't do plaid, but u might get tired of looking at it kind of quick. plaid may be what is "in", but at least with a basic darker color to sort of "match" the rest of the interior you know you won't be disgusted looking at it in a half a year.

Whatever you decide on, just remember --
None of it's gonna look right with that tan headliner unless it is, in fact, BLACK.
