I will post pics this week of total before & after which includes seats as well.
cant wait to see it! i'm on the fence about two tone as well (mainly because i've been lazy lately) but want something different in my DWP.

Blacks nice, but I have to say I like black on tan better.

I had 3 black on black cars, and I'm perfectly fine with my tan interior. Something new, you know. With that being said, my next car will have black on red or all black interior.

my take:




but tan is very nice when kept well. black ages much better. if you compare a pretty shoddy tan interior to a shoddy black interior of same quality, black will look better because it will hide fading, cracks, tears and especially carpet stains better.

I love my black interior. The only thing I don't like is the velour trim on the seats, much harder to keep clean (always looks greyish), a leather retrim is on the cards though.

Saying that, I'm in the middle of doing a black/tan interior on my old 31 (Royal Jade Pearl body). Night and day difference between tan/black combo to the old green grey it used to have.

I also think a better tan would benefit the car when doing a two tone. Just something richer I guess like this:
