Interior Opinion???

unluky · 07-23-2014, 10:36 PM

Any one have an opinion on this? I can't make up my mind. Some of you have seen that I am converting my beige interior to a black and beige interior slowly. I thought the LeatherZ door pads would be comfortable and I thought the contrast would be nice, but now I am not so sure. I keep putting them on and taking them off not sure enough to stick them on with the adhesive. Almost think it is too much black.

Before/current - everything except the opening lever is not black or beige.

After / If I install. These are not attached and are kind of just laying on there, so don't mind the straightness - just the color.

Without.

I've never been a fan of their armrests or console box thing. They just don't look like they belong and they'll damage your interior if not removed properly.

silverfishZ4M · 07-23-2014, 10:52 PM

I don't like them.

unluky · 07-23-2014, 10:56 PM

Good - I was not warming up to the look either. I though it would be a nice contrast when I ordered them but not so much in person.

I will move on and someone will just get a deal! lol

Thanks for the input.

Vanne · 07-23-2014, 11:15 PM

I like them.

are they comfy?

Yes. If you have pointy elbows, like mine, they're great. Look better black on black though IMO, but if the handle is black, and other pieces are black, then it's all in the eye of the beholder.

unluky · 07-24-2014, 08:55 AM

They do seem like they would be comfortable, but I just did not like the look the way I thought I would. Black on black would look nice though.........

The armrest pads are a great "option" read bandaid if your original armrests are cracked as mine were.
They cover up the damaged area nicely.

Nate4641 · 07-24-2014, 05:59 PM

I'm not a fan as it is now, but I think it would be better with more black on the door card. Its too..selectively contrasty, like there isn't enough balance.

pelerojo · 07-24-2014, 06:33 PM

They are very comfortable but I also do not like the contrast. The black on black is barely noticeable.

JonM · 07-24-2014, 07:55 PM

Get beige ones. Do consider black floor mats if you want more black in the interior.

unluky · 07-25-2014, 08:48 AM

I thought about black floor mats, but I tossed a black towel on the floor and it looked odd. I did not have enough other black in there to balance it out I do not think. That is why I bought the M mats I have now - could not find non-M beige floor mats and the ones that were in there were not OEM and did not fit great.

After I get more black in there, I may try again.

KevinC · 07-25-2014, 08:53 AM

I agree on the suggestion to get beige armrest pads.. LeatherZ should be able to do them in any color you want.

As for the mats, how about black cocomats with beige ("natural") dots?

unluky · 07-25-2014, 11:49 AM

LOL - that might be a good compromise!

itdnwiwbp · 07-25-2014, 04:00 PM

Coco mats are a great idea. They do tie things together nicely.

Finnegan · 07-25-2014, 06:45 PM

Great options on this thread! Love the dot to do to dot connections too with the Coco mats and pedals.

Hey, I have some of those with blue dots! Oh wait, I bought them from you!

P.S. They fit fine once I raised the seat a bit so they could fit underneath.

StickMon · 07-25-2014, 10:07 PM

OH!
I need to get some of those mats.
My heel's gone through my Wal-Mart mat.

Thanks for the idea!!

Vanne · 07-25-2014, 10:21 PM

Never heard of those matts before, they look like what Indian cab drivers have on their seats.. Is that what it is? (Not meaning to be racist or anything, it's just that I don't know what those seat covers are called otherwise)

Beware of crappy imitations - there are some very sketchy quality coconuts out there. Only the ones from cocomats.com are the good quality stuff...
