Default Anyone changed their interior without "completely" changing interior

Hey,
My 1980 was red on red, just a little too red for me. I added some black subleties to change things up. Anyone else do the same?
show some pics...rs

I kinda like it. Just a little different from the monotone color. If you're happy then that's all that matters.

Someone will probably complain that this thread is six years old, but who cares?!? Red interior is the best interior, especially on a white car, but all-red is too much red.

I don't have a good photo, but I've been slowly changing my PO-modded black interior back to red. I used SEM dye to take care of everything above the dash and painted them oyster white (pillars, halos, and top). Carpets are now red, too.

Black seats in a convertible will toast your back/butt.....I went with "satin" red seats...red-red was too bright for me.....I can put some leathdr conditioner on them to add some sheen....but that's just me.
