Well, I drove down to Virginia to pick the car up yesterday despite the ugly colored interior, that he wasn't able to send me pictures of. I was expeting it to be really bad, so I was pretty glad when I saw it was not even blue at all (not sure how he thought it was??) but it is all gray. Now whether it s ugly or not is debatable, but I do like it, so it's fine for now. The seats are pretty badly cracked, so I think one of my mods in the near future will be re-uppholstering all the seats, leather on the door panels, and the armrest.

You should have stopped by while you were in VA. I was just detailing my SC4

The earthtones I can take a little easier than the greenish/gray of the spruce interior.

Black is definitely the best, but since me and most of us here have the damn tan all we can do is restore it or replace it...

Mike, I'm gonna have to disagree, of course I'm a little biased. I was relieved when I saw my int was grey, since 99.5% of all SC's come with tan. Mines not green at all, it's a nice pure gray, the interior was maintained well. Personally, I don't like the tan interior on the SC, the darker brown on top kills it. Either black or grey for me.

-I'm a little biased too. but i do find the spruce interior easier to keep clean.
-although black would be better, the spruce interior makes my tint look darker as oppose to tan. ( light 35% all around).
-all my friends think it looks gray anyways
-tan does have that more classy/luxury look.
my .02 cents

The reason I say it is the Spruce interior is because if you actually compared it to a real gray swatch it would have a greenish tint to it. I know you all think I am crazy to say there is any green and no one ever believes me when I tell them that our Jade color is our match, but it is the truth nonetheless. Here is ChronoJ1's interior. This is our Jade color installed in the Spruce interior...







My personal preference between the Spruce, Tan, and Black SC interiors is the black interior. Mainly because with black you have an empty slate. With black you can two-tone the interior any way you like because everything goes with black and you can just a second color. The Tan interior is a good solid "Luxury" car interior, but I've just seen so many of them that they are kind of boring to me. My favorite SC interior that I have seen so far and I havent seen too many of is the Charcoal interior. Its a really dark grey that combines just the right amount of "class" along with the "sports coupe". Just my .02
