Default Black seats in marble grey interior?

Anyone ever put black seats (like Pole Positions) in the marble grey (lighter grey of the two) in a coupe? How's it look?

I put black Recaro Top Speeds into a marble grey cab. Looked fine to me. But I started a process of changing interior to black in that car as marble looked pretty tired.

Sorry, not sure what you meant there?

Do you have any pics?

I'm considering black pole positions in a car with a cashmere interior.

Default Black seats

JPS,

993 cab--originally Blue and Grey, added Black Cobra seats, black carpet inserts and carbon fiber. Seems to work for me.

Currently have 997 GT3 seats in black alcantara. Hardbacks are grey for a nice tie in. Second pic

Not a coupe but hope this helps,

I started converting that car's interior to black. So the only pics I have are with black door panels, black center console pieces and black floor mats.

Ah, gotcha, thx. What did you do about the headliner? Oh, wait, I think you have a cab?

Yep, it was a cab with black headliner, no problems there. Another plus of having a cab

BTW, you can dye the rear seats black, put down black carpet mats and that will go a long way to balancing the interior. Black door inserts as shown in Jim's pics above, black center console and black carpeted piece that holds the switches also help quite a lot. The inserts and console can also be dyed.

No, I'll tell you what's mean. I'm in Miami for two month... driving my mom's Camry instead of my 993 cab.
