Default Help with Interior color for C5

I've been trying to decide on colors for new seats in my 04. Having a hard time with this. Exterior color is Spiral grey, Interior is all back now. I want to go with a two tone seat and I've been thinking about light grey carpet. Any ideas ???????

I have a 2004 Spiral Gray vert with a black interior/top and I just completed some major interior mods. I really want to post pics, however I'm waiting until I install my DSV D-Shape custom steering wheel on 11/4 to complete the interior.

However, here are my threads on the same subject with some nice pics to help give you some ideas...

With spiral gray, a mod red interior would look badazz. Check out the car TomBoy has - very nicely done in that color combo.
