Default Carbon fiber wrap interior colors

Hello everyone i am about to order 3m Di-noc carbon fiber film to wrap my intrior with. i am basicly wraping the wood trim and a few things here and there. What color do you guys thinks goes best with the tan color seats. Should i stick with black carbon or do another color. thanks

I think its a personal taste thing. I would have a problem covering real wood with a vinyl carbon fibre . I have used the carbon fibre vinyl on my motorcyle to cover the ugly painted surfaces . There it worked well. I think the sc430 wood interior is one of the best around. I have a 2005 PB so my wood is black birds eys expresso and I love it.

i wouldn't even do that to my fancy wood trim personally.. if it were plain plastic like the base model IS's then yea sure.. but the wood trim? noo wayyyy. but if you insist.. the tan would match with the black CF.

Tan color seats? Id keep the wood. Black seats CF would be nice. Tan and any color CF will look pretty cheesy. Can I see a pic of your car to see what style you're trying to achieve.

After looking for your car you actually have saddle not "tan" interior. The black CF would look OK i think.
