Question Interior ideas? Color choices? Photoshops?

A few years ago I did a quickie interior restoration. The colors you see below are Duplicolor spray dye. The tan on the dash and the black on the carpet. Carpet was tan and trashed, dash was really bad after sitting in the sun in Arizona sun for 24 years.

Interior looks great but I am ready to do something else....maybe.

I just sold off my race seats and picked up a set of factory heated sport seats to make the car more comfortable. I have to restore and dye the seats. Since I will be picking a color for the new seats I am considering changing up the interior combo. Want to keep a two tone flavor.

Black over gray? Black over red? (car is red)

Might do black over grey alcantara but more looking for a cool color idea!

Maybe someoe can change the colors in this picture? Or post cool color combos you have seen in a 944 or would like to!

Use black alcantara to cover all the white parts, it would look great..

Not cheap, but worth it.

First, it's actually tan, not white.

Secondly, the whole point here is to avoid a dark abyss of a full black interior. I hate the all black interior cars. Think it takes away from the character of the cars.

I am considering doing the current black areas in black alcantara and the tan areas in gray alcantara.

Its a matter of taste, I don't like all black interiors neither, but black leather+alcantara would look good imo.. My car will have complete interior reupholstered in burgundy / wine red leather with few small patches of black alcantara


I have a 145x70 cm piece of original alcantara in gray, got it for my bmw, but I changed my mind so I don't need it anymore. I will sell it to you if you're interested..

I can take pictures of that piece if you want.
