Default Tan/Ivory Interior.

Here are some pics you requested. I upgraded my leather though. Tell me what you think.

tan interior is nice if you can keep it clean....sucks when it rains and people with dirty shoes get in your car. Just my opinion

Thank you for the pics.

Hmm, what tint level you have on the windows? I'm guessing maybe 35%

I can't really say I agree with that. I actually think the black looks more luxurious than the tan in the gs. I think people just say that because most sports cars that have leather have black leather.

I like the look of black leather, but I prefer tan leather in my cars. For everyday driving, the tan doesn't get as hot, doesn't show dust as quickly and also makes the interior seem a little roomier than black leather.

I know what you mean. I have two sons that necessitated me changing the carpet to mocha to match the floor mats.

Good guess. Front windows 50%. Rear passenger windows 35%. Back glass 20%. Btw, where are the other pics people were supposed to post up. I think only 3 of us posted pics so far. Come on guys! I know there are alot of ivory interiors out there.

Okay I'm one of those w/ ivory interior (black exterior), but I could not find one pic that looks down into the interior through the tinted windows.

I don't mind the lighter interior, makes it feel roomier and airy. Sure black prolly looks "cooler", but I'm fine w/ the ivory.

I think tan with the woodtrim looks luxury whereas the black with woodtrim looks tacky.

Thanks for the complements. Interior was accomplished through a group buy with LeatherSeats.Com. Installed it myself and carpet was redone in mocha to match the floor mats at a local upolstery shop.
Here is another shot of the exterior. Just a few minor upgrades. i.e:Tom's grill, JDM visors, JDM Chrome door handles, LED tails, IS SD center caps.
