Two-tone interior?
Typical wrinkles...and a tear in the bolster seam...
Two-tone from Interior Innovations (synthetic)...
Good choice? Bad choice? Everyone has different opinions...at first I thought it would be cool but then my brother-in-law and my daughter said I should keep it all black (but with a C5 logo on the headrest)...making me rethink it.
What do you all think? I'm wondering if it would be too "busy". I wouldn't be doing the console cover or the shift boot, just the seat covers.

I really like the two tone look - give the interior a much more updated look. Here are pics of my last two C5s that I put a two tone interior in:

I fought the decision too last year. At times I thought I wanted the two tone then when it came down to time to order, I went back with black, but did have the C5 logo on the head rest. I'm very happy with my decision now and everybody that sees my car thinks it looks great. Think long and hard what YOU want to do as you are the one that has to live with it.

I prefer monochrome, but my entire car is black, wheels and all. Our van is also black but has a 2-tone black and gray interior which actually looks very nice (I know, it's a van...).
The 2 tone black and gray a couple posts above me looks great also IMO.

You are lucky with white as there are so many good options!
My yellow is tougher keeping it subtle and not being a clown car. JMHO...

Ive never been a fan of the "all black" interior.
I want to change mine out and go with a two tone black + white or black + grey combo.
On the Lexus forums , the all black interior is by FAR the most desirable.
People are even swapping out their interiors for al all black theme, or even spraying them all black, I never understood the obsession, to me its boring.

Yellow stitching on seat skins might be a good way to go.
