Default sc430 interior color in sc400(opinions)

what do you all think of this color interior in our sc300/400 (saddle on black?)-i would love to do this conversion to my interior.i think it would add more depth and a richer look to an already lovely interior design......i think the only options i would have for this conversion is to trade out my tan surfaces for a black interior and wrap the front ,rear,door armrests,and center armrests in saddle leather(perforated)...what do you think?

or how about using my current tan perforated interior but adding custom wood accents using this colored custom wood(in location of stock wood-doors,pass side airbag,center vents,rx/gs steering wheel w/custom wood treatment,and the outside piece that houses the radio,ac controls,gearshift,and cupholder):

Next, I think that pic of the old steering wheel is throwing it off, find a pic of a woodgrain kit, and post that, it will probably give a better idea

Question

that pic above is just an example of the wood grain color i thought of working with...it's not a design or color available(custom)but to get you a better idea of the wood color would be from the new sc or ls that "marbalized grey color" example:

I dont know kid, kinda out there. For some reason it looks textured, i think a lighter shade and different pattern would be better like birds eye

dude I think it would be sweet... if you did a black/saddle interior like the SC430

it would be pretty expensive I'm guessing, and it would be alot easier to start with a black interior so you wouldnt have to ghetto paint the seat frames buttons and all that junk

if you're willing to do it I would love to help, I've done a few custom interiors on my cars and it'd be cool to see something on the SC

(I think the stock wood on the SC430 would be better than that marbelized stuff)
