Default Tension Blue Interior Conversion

The door panels were a little too rich for me, but I think it came out good!

Very nice! It would be cool if you could incorporate that color somewhere on the exterior as well... maybe the calipers, or badging...

I think the matching GS fender stripes would add to it as well. This interior colour looks way better on the white than the WGG in my opinion. I would have liked to have seen the GS CE done in sterling blue with this interior.

Nice job!!

Looks good! I agree with not doing the door panels. That may have been overwhelming. I also agree with a previous posters regarding tying the color in with an external component. Either calipers, hash marks, or both.

Whenever I see that blue it reminds me of neoprene wetsuit material, I think it looks cool. Good work.

Why can't GM offer that color as an option?

Looks awesome!! $2K is a little steep for seats, though.
