Throwing in Supra seats would be an upgrade? do they have better support?

The wood painted red looks really nice on the red SC.
See I really dont wanna go all black ive never really liked all black interior's, as for the seats I was thinking tan with black suede insert, and what else would you wrap in red?

I'm gonna have to agree... it's almost if someone didn't finish their all-tan to all-black conversion.

But hey, some people hate Keira Knightley, and I happen to love her. So there you go - it's your ride, if you like it then that's all that really matters

I thought it was fairly easy but I dont have an air bag in the passenger side
so that makes a difference imo do a search there's a few DIY 1 thing I can tell you is to have to trays 1 for the driver side and 1 for the passenger side it keeps it more organized I only had 2 screws left over couldn't exactly find out where they went good luck if you ever decide to do it lots of fun

I also think it looks like someone didnt finish a full black conversion. If you want to go with a 2 tone look then then you need some continuity. Like a full black dashboard/center console with tan seats. As it stands right now it looks like a tan interior with some pieces panted black.

Full black conversion + red wood trim FTW.

it really depends how much you wna spend, I personally think the supra seats looks better, they are lower, and they give better support because they are racing bucket seats, sc400 seats are more comfortable because its suppose to be more "luxury." If you wna keep your seats, you can find faily priced leather covers and if you want to spend a little bit more then go two toned, I dont knw if red/tan two tone will look good, but atlease it give you some idea... tan with black suede inserts may be nice too
