The tan interior looks good because of color and moderation,The dark interior has it every where,console,headliner,dash.... to much of a good thing looks like crap.I have to hold customers back every once in a while so things look balanced.

Yeah, I agree that diamond stitching can be over done. We aren't putting it in the console or the headliner.

Oh and Rodger, I was looking at the two cars you mentioned the other day. I think Mulvey's interior had the other style of rectangular stitching in Ferraris that I can't describe very well, it looks killer, but didn't want to copy that idea. As for the Roadster Shop's, I saw that and thought they really nailed the look I had in my mind. I was even planning on red inserts, that is, until we decided on the purple


And that brown color from the ferrari would look pretty classy in the car. As it is though, our stylistic goal was classy and sinister, so diamond stitched areas in the seats and door panels will be suede with red stitching. The headliner will be suede, and the rest will be black leather, err "imitation leather" since it holds up better, and we don't want wrinkles after a couple years of driving it around. I really hope it all comes together well. I'll try to get some pictures and sketches up for some input, because if we've got something too gaudy looking, please, try to stop us.

Sounds good. Those colors will look good together. Can't wait to see the sketches.

I do like the Bentley that you were referring to. The Mercedes is a bit much though

Anyway, after picking up a second gen console from Classic Industries today, I headed over to the upholstery shop. We got to thinking about the size of the diamond stitching, and came up with about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches for the squares. Does that seem about right for the sizing?

Also I think I've said it before, but those half height bushings from DSE, while nice, have proved to complicate all kinds of stuff. When fitting the console, it looks like the the modifications that had to be made to the trans tunnel because of the bushings, have caused the dash/console to require some modification to fit. I guess that is the nature of the beast though.

Oh and lastly, I finally got a jpeg version of Casti's rendering, so here it is
