HELP!! i cant make my mind up what do about my retrim!

late last year i had my seats retrimed in cream leather with red pipeing i didnt have the doors and dash done at the time as id already done it myself unfortunatley i couldnt get the cream leather for the seats to match the cream on the doors and dash, plus my pipeing was looking tacky. anyway to cut a long story short ive found some cream leather look vynil to match my seats so now im retriming.

problem is im thinking of doing the top of the dash,top of the doors, ect, in red leather so that the whole interior will be bottom half cream top half red.

do you think this will look good or is just gonna look tacky.

help!! all opinions greatly apreciated

cheers si

I reckon a photoshop might be helpful at this point from anyone who has the skills.

If it is done well I'm sure it will look good.

Go for it - it's always nice to see something a bit different :D

forgot to mention ive sprayed my bits( :x: not them bits) stereo soround, leci window switches, door lever/handle sorounds, ect. the same sparkly flip colour as my car aswell.

Be careful you don't overdo it bud!-dash top is a no-no IMO of course! :o

if got any good quality pics of the interior post one and i'll have a go at photoshopping it mate, no probs... just make it clear what u want where and i'll have a quick shufty..

Hmmmmm. Trimming the plastic panels will be a fooker for a start. However, the zeds i have seen with leather trimmed dash/door plastic etc, look damn good.

 

I think it would work well if the red was dark.

top of dash in red = nasty. Leather on the dash can be good though, touslecoq has a black leather dash and its real nice imo.

Don't know about the red I like Black.

NEVER trim the dash!!!

 

My skyline has it and suffered from exactly the same problem as touslecoq which is as its in the sun alot being on the dash it dries the glue out and shrinks/expands the material so ends up going all loose!! i ended up taking my dash trim off my skyline, shame as alot of time and money had gone into it.

 

I also think you can go too far, keep the trim to the seats and a few choice matching other bits ie door cards but thats it ;)

I couldn't agree more...

I Like Black leather with red piping .looks sharp and not to tacky. Very practicle compared to lighter leather IMO :hyper:

ive decided to ditch the the 'red leather on top of dash idea' and just do red leather beading were the cream meets the black,

thanks for all your opinions, much apreciated.
