Of those, I'd have to say that Leather would be the only choice that would look acceptable.

Is this for the car on your avatar photo? With a paint color like yours, and those nice looking rims, ( what are they 20's?) you need an interior that matches the exterior. If the outside is not stock, then why keep the inside stock. A two tone shade of light green/dark green, or one color seats with contrasting piping would set it off. That may work better with a suede or velour in that case.

yeah the avatar is the soon to be vette.... color might change a shade or two.... i made a 6 digital gauge cluster and molded the dash/console/lower dashes with fiberglass (pics soon)....... i was thinking creme with green piping..only thing is that i'm afraid that if i get creme floor carpet it might get dirty too fast....... creme/green or black/green.......
