Thoughts on white interior?
Alright, so I've always had a thing for white interiors. I have a PDW SC and am reallllly strongly considering going ALL white. Not just seats, but dash and everything. The only thing holding me back is I dont want it to look like a ricer Civic. If not going completely white, what other 2 tone do you think I should do? I was considering white and silver for quite some time but I dont know how its going to turn out. Also, what the hell do I do about the wood trim? Get carbon fiber trim? I'm thinking of getting carbon fiber hood and a carbon fiber trunk/spoiler. I saw a CF hood on a white Supra with gunmetal wheels and I must say it looked stunning. So what do you think of the idea of going all white interior?

Explain, please.Looks-wise, a white interior can be a blast, but it takes almost CONSTANT cleaning.....especialy in sloppy weather or in the summer if you sweat.

RSP is Royal Sapphire Pearl which is the blue that MKIV Supras come in.
As for the white interior... If you got a 1967 Mustang you only drive to shows, go for it.
No luxury car should ever come with a white interior. Especially one you have installed that will flake, peel, and just generally look like hell. Not to mention the constant dingy look they will have after just a week.
So yes, it will look like a ricer Civic.
Other nice options are:
Black, like mentioned but not incredibly luxury. More sport oriented. Plus it burns your ***, no thanks.
Single-tone tan. That same color you have on the lower half of your dash? The lighter tan? Use that everywhere in the car, lose the brown, bleh. This is very luxo and would be tasteful. Think new MB products.
RED. Yes, red. That awesome burnt red saddle color you find in newer Infiniti products, or the SC430. Do the whole shebang like that and you'll turn heads.
Remember tho that entire color changes are horribly impractical and require painting a lot of parts that you touch, will wear, and scratch. How will you change your seat belt color? Or the headliner? What about the door sill trim that you kick *every* time you get in the car? Small details like that could turn your car into a total disaster...
Just some things to consider.

i wouldnt say it is rice, but i dont think it would look too good...plus it would get dirty fast. you know how much oil and skin cells will get onto that interior? one more thing, what color is the car? if its a black car, then that would look sick (sick = ewww)
. too much contrast if it a black with white interior.

The car is PDW, or Pearl Diamond White.
I say go black. That would just be so sexy IMO. I can see an Auto Couture SC with some clean chrome rims, glossy white with a black interior. Might just be me, but white on white would look almost like you were dreaming. I swear I've seen a pic of a white/white SC before though...

Hmm some of you guys made good points about the paint chipping out and stuff. Isnt that what happened on that SC with lambo doors? The interior looked prettttttty nasty. As far as cleaning, I dont mind cleaning the white interior. Its just that I dont want the paint to chip out because then its REALLY gonna look like rice. Ok guys what if I get just white seats and dont paint anything? (BTW I really dont find black interiors appealing IMO and burnt orange I love but it would require me to do painting)
