Dove Gray vaders with black interior?
 
My interior is compeletely black right now. I might have found a good deal on dove gray vader seats (front and rear). How would dove gray seats look in a black interior? Has anyone seen this before? How hard they to dye black? I did a search and I can't find any pics of this combination.

I think i've seen this before on a bmw,i know i've seen this color combo on other cars. Let me do some searching to see if i can come up with anything. I know someone on here has dyed there seats,maybee L8?? But whoever did it stuck with the same color as the seats.

BUMP! What is everyone's opinion on this? Dove Grey vaders in an all Black interior??? I wanna know what you think.

Hmm I am not sure what I would think of that. I will have black seats with a grey interior installed this weekend. I will post up some pics of that if you think it would help.

Grey seats in a black car could be interesting. I dyed my Dove grey Vaders to Biege to match my interior. Not a very large change in color. I don't think dying them black is practical.

You know what would be hot? Dove gray seats with the bolsters dyed black in a black interior car. (Leatherique)

Sick hot.

I originally wanted to swap out the gray cloth in my car for black leather. Bought a couple yards of black fabric, tucked it around the seats and stood back. It was pretty high contrast and wasn't sure so I backed off. I think the same is true of gray into black Dustin. You'll need a couple gray accents here/there to really ti it in. Maybe paint the plastic seat backs to black? Maybe get gray stitching/piping on your ebrake and shift boots? Maybe a gray/white face guage set?

If you can find pics I'll try to pshop something for you if you want.

Im not too concerned with looks.. Its becoming more of a track, auto-x toy that is daily driven.

If that's the case, I remember hearing that vaders aren't actually all that, how should I say... "grippy" of a seat. It'd be better to get an aftermarket racing seat.

Is this dove grey? It doesn't look bad.

It looks like beige to me. Dove grey is more, well, grey.

The caption said dove grey. I might be the lighting in the picture, but I'm pretty sure that's dove grey.

Hmmm... after looking through some pics, it seems you're probably right. I guess the dove grey leather is just darker than cloth.

I should have clarified. I realized what I said could have been interpreted as such after I had left to go practice.

They are actually carbon/kevlar side mount race seats with a high grip fabric.
Grey was not a color option.
