A recent thread talked about two tone seats and it got me thinking about my interior on my 08 AW coupe. It has a cashmer interior without the two tone seats. Everything seems to blend together so when I bought floor mats I got Ebony with emblems and it broke up the color nicely! Sense the seats don't have emblems on them, I thinking of buying a console lid with an emblem on it.
My question, would a Ebony lid or another Cashmer lid with an emblem look best in your opinions?

Hummmm, toss up. I think Ebony as much of the interior is Ebony..also, another PLUS is that you could rest your dirty elbow on it and not have to worry!

I also have a cashmere interior. I originally went with a DSV padded armrest that had an ebony top and cashmere sides. I didn't like it. Fortunately Gerardo helped me out (great guy to deal with) and I changed back to cashmere. I definitely like the cashmere better. Can't way why but the dark armrest in the Cashmere interior just didn't look right.

So...my recommendation is cashmere.

Here's a photo of the dark armrest in my car for your viewing pleasure.

Your interior is beautiful the way it is. Why break it up with different colors? A padded cashmere console cover from Gerardo is what I did.

Default Too much beige.......break it up!

On my 07 I had all cashmere and it was too much for me. On my 08 I have cashmere two tone, with black Lloyds mats, and a two tone console. Personal choice........but the interior pictures posted already of the two tone with black mats and two tone console I think looks great.

Can't go wrong with any combination.

Thanks for the advise!

The emblem is a big part of my desire to do something. I'll probably stay with the Cashmere but don't really like the padded ones.

Cost is not the issue here but you can go with the Cashmere with emblem for a whole lot less then with a padded one.

I seem to remember that someone had cloth emblems that are self adhesive, does anyone know what I'm talking about?
