Ebony/Titanium interior impressions
Looking for some feedback on the Ebony/Titanium interior on the coupe/vert. Those of you that have it, do you like it or regret it? I'm looking at a Cyber gray with the Ebony/Tit interior option. Had a chance to see the interior last night and really liked it but I'm a little concerned about the Titanium showing dirt/smudges...etc.. quicker than a darker color.

I have the straight titanium interior on my convertible. Wish I had the ebony combination, but the car was built before the option was available. The titanium interior does not show wear. Do I clean it occasionally - yes, but it is for preventive maintenance not because it shows dirt.

I have a 2006 titanium interior and I'm changing my seat covers to the two tone seat covers to add to the two tone look. I really like the two tone on the door panels and dash. However in my opinion the lighter titanium pieces look a bit cheaper the the darker ebony. But as far as look this combination is awesome.

I have the Titanium/Ebony two-tone and love it. I had a choice of getting the Camel/Ebony two-tone which I also like but the Camel two-tone came with Camel colored carpeting whereas the Titanium two-tone comes with Ebony colored carpeting.
I attached a couple of pictures. Click on them for a larger picture, sorry for the dirt on the mats, I just got the car home when I took these pictures two years ago.

i probably would have more issues since mine is all titanium, like the poster above, and mine is a convertible (usually more dirt, dust, etc. than coupes). the only place I've had to clean is right around the top of the side edge of the seat that comes in contact with the seat belt.
I've cleaned the rest of the seat(s), but it wasn't needed at all. and this is after 1year and 12.5K miles, at least 50% top down.

I had it on a black '07 and it is my favorite interior. I think it makes the interior much more upscale. It is more unique. I have ebony interior on a '08 VY now and it looks boring compared to the black/titanium interior. Don't worry about dirt showing. Both show marks. Dirt on the titanium shows as dark marks and as light gray/white on the ebony. All of the marks seem to clean up OK with a micro fiber towel and interior cleaner. Get it and enjoy it!

2 tone seats...
I just had my 09 delivered on Wednesday and took possession on Thursday. I have the titanium/ebony 2 tone. I really like and so do almost all that have looked at it. My 06 had the full titanium and never had any problems with it either. Paul...

So far I like ours just fine. I'm going to swap out the titanium center console lid with an ebony lid next week. It should add a little more contrast to the interior.

My Z is black and with an all black interior, I really wanted something to breat it up too. I was concerned the black/titanium interior would be just too much though. Like Todd969, I finally opted for just the black/titanium seat option. I love it! Perfect contrast and break-up factor. Not to mention, the seats are a FREE option choice.

I just took delivery of our CG Coupe with the eb/tit interior and another CG Coupe at the museum had just ebony and the couple wished they had done the two tone like ours. My early thoughts on keeping the seats clean is favorable as I wore jeans the entire 1100 mile journey home and the seats are still clean. I would order this combo again with CG it really matches our interior.

I think the titanium/ebony will look great with CG. I don't think it will show the dirt anymore than cashmere which I have in two tone.
Here's a pic of what I did with mine.
Go for the two tone you won't regret it.

I have had mine since Feb. My car is a daily driver and I love the interior. No signs of wear or tear or stains but of course i clean my seats every couple of weeks with leather cleaner. It's all in the person and keeping a car clean.
