Accent stitching

I'm going to Detroit in a couple weeks to gamble, see the North American Auto show and get custom seat covers at Vette Essentials. I've decided on black seats with pewter inserts and accent stitching to match my pewter car. I can't decide what color accent stitching tp go with. Originally I was thinking pewter but its kind of dark and wouldn't really jump out at ya so then i though maybe orange would look good, at least it does in my 350Z. Then Matt (Vette Essentials) suggested torch red. Can anybody post pictures of their accent stitching so I can see what differnt colors are going to look like? TIA

Check out www.mamotorworks.corvette...search C5SEATS....click on C5 seat color selector....shows you different combos.....to include stitching. What color is your carpet????

Here are the black leather with red stiching Carvaggio race seats and matching console cover lid that I sold two days ago. I think the red stiching would look best with your car and color IMHO too.

I have totally black interior. I'm trying to spice it up a bit so I went with the Torch Red stitching (unless I change my mind.....again). Thanks for the site to check out samples.

Met these guys at the Carlisle Coevette show. They said bring the car to next year's show (8/09) and they would do my car at the show for a super low price. I couldn't wait that long so I'm going to their shop in Detroit. It includes new foam and conversion to sport seats too.

I will be selling my perfect condition standard black seat skins with only 25K on them when I get back. Probably around $250 with foam.
