Default Light Oak Interior, step inside please

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on replacing the e-brake and shifter boots with a nice leather set from redlinegoods.com. But, I can't decide between black w/ tan (apparently called SIERRA w/ Redline color line) stitching or tan leather w/ black stitching.

Does anyone have some pics they can share to help me decide? Not too many examples of us light oak owners floating around on the web.

Thanks.

I used red line for boots. Not a good picture but I painted my center console with flattened base cote and used solid color. I'd go with tan stitching.

Unless you are planning to replace a lot more pieces and use the black stitching, I'd go with the tan. Would just blend in better.

Not the best picture. The match is quite good.

Decision made. Black leather shift boot w/ Quadruple Sierra (tan) stitching. I'll start with one piece and see how I like it. $40 - $4 (forum discount) + $6 = $42. Not too shabby.

I'll post pics after install. Thanks.
