Advice on Interior...?
I am having a rough time trying to decide what I want on my interior. Please give me your opinions; Here is my situation:
I have an '03 Millennium Yellow Coupe, the interior is 2-toned with Ebony and Light Oak. Ebony dash, steering wheel, console. Light oak carpets, seats, knee bolster, glove box, and bottom door panel.
Option 1: Stay with my interior, and do some custom stuff around that color combo.
Option 2: Swap out my interior for another forum members interior (all black) and then go custom from there with the black and yellow.
**Also I am doing some under the hood painting in Yellow, and most likely painting the calipers yellow, with black rims (eventually)**
PLEASE HELP....THROW ME YOUR 2 CENTS....OR MORE!

Wow, cool to see another Yellow and Oak combo. Here's what I did with mine. Custom Interior from Vette essentials. I stuck with the black / oak combo. was thinking about introducing yellow, but it would have been too much with 3 colors. Good luck with your Decision

Nice nice job there 75.
I do like tan (oak as they call it) interiors w/TR & MY's
Just had a look at a 03 Vert TR/blk. Had I bought that car I'd be looking for tan trade out. It < than 2,000 miles. Like brand new. Did not buy.
Another thought is going TR inside all the way. Was a rare option not on the option list. Or duplicate the Z06 mod interior. If you go red, do the floor mats in red too. But 75 above did well.
btw: I had a 63swc once that came to me with the '67 Goodwood green & stinger hood (I called it british racing green). It was RED inside. A sort of mod look back then. Neither was stock but looked perfect to me.
So don't be afraid to go radical.

I have an all-black interior and although I enjoy it, I am wanting to add some color trim to help break it up. My exterior is medium spiral gray and I plan to add some red highlights/lower door panels, etc. to help make it pop.
Good luck!

Only the TR int is rare, very rare. Oak is not as common as blk. Blk is now the standard color on C6's.
Nothing wrong w/that. Just a fact.

That black/oak looks great. That would be my recommendation.
