considering i have the same color car. What i did is two tone tan ostrich skin/brown solid leather. But ido drive my car on the street also. Considering your car is strictly show, i'd do tan/brownish red two tone with the brownish red on the headliner also. And I'd make the door panels tan. note: tan gets very dirty very quickly and is extremely hard to clean

if i were to do it, i would choose a light brown, different from the tan leather but not far off enough to make people pay too much attention

i would vote for 2 tone leather and perforated sueade inserts just like in the is 300. in fact on a side note thats exactly what i am going to do this year and make the suede the color of the dash and mats and continue that same color onto the piping and embroider the headrests with Ltuned in small but noticable size.. also to maintain the piping onto the 2 armrests and thats that

just my .02 i believe in less is more

believe me the whole color swap was going to be too pricey for me aswell. 2 shops quoted me between 5500.00-6000 for the whole swap from beige to black with the suede i'm doing. so taking advantage of the situation like i did before they towed my blk gs away after the storms ended up saveing me a ton of money. i went yesterday and set my date for Feb 1st as my appt. for it to go in right after i get my rear end fixed and repainted from the accident. whats funny is i found a 98 cinnabar GS4 with oem blk interior in Ft Lauderdale for $18k. never thought i'd see that combo either. good luck.
