Which color Alcantara is best for a solid red Z?

Joebarchuck · 06-15-2011, 10:26 PM

Hi guys, I am going to try to cover the door panels with automotive alcantara and if all goes well, I will do the whole interior car whenever I have money and especially time since I would be doing it myself.

I need some help, I am not sure which color would be the best.

Please keep in mind the following: I don't necessarily want to stay on black...

Thanks for helping me see this more clearly and feel free to post pics of other cars that you have in mind where the mod came out perfect.

Here are the colors I can choose from:

Honestly if my Z was red I'd prob stick with black, or the nismo seat style

Joebarchuck · 06-15-2011, 10:35 PM

Yeah that is one of my thoughts... Right now I am looking for ideas because it's going to be a lot of work and I don't want to waste time and money on Alcantara I will have to change later on.

Black with red accents!

Black with Red FTW!!!

2951... Reminds me of Ferrari interiors.

White + Red

could look something like this.... (insert red where blue)

Joebarchuck · 06-15-2011, 11:47 PM

Not usually a fan of matching exterior with interior, so if it was me I'd use BMW's white leather with brown or black suede inserts (seat shoulders, thigh bolsters, door panels and a few other small areas for accent).

If you're gunna go with red... do white and red

Here's a pic in case you go with red and black to give you an idea...

Oh C'MON!!

That's not EVEN right!

I gotta tell ya...the floor mats and diamond patterned seats sent it over the top. I think the knee pads, and glove box is a bit much too.

I can't imagine that's what the OP had in mind!

Black with red ACCENTS (as opposed to red with black accents) would look like so.

docaam · 06-16-2011, 06:56 AM

I am doing mine its still way more to go as was out of alcantara. I will do the whole center piece and steering wheels in alcantara, rest will see later.

After looking at black with red stitching and seeing some red accents I felt it would be better if there was a combo of gray and black alcantara with red stitching.

So will say 2957/9052 for accents and rest black and then red stitching

Econ · 06-16-2011, 07:48 AM

that looks so awesome docaam
