Just make sure before you decide. Don't want any regrets.

I decided to go with the Graphite interior. Not to say that I didn't find the Stone interior just as appealing but the deciding factor were based on several simple reasons ...1) The light colored carpeting didn't appeal to me for some reason. Not necessarily from a maintenance perspective but ...
... for whatever reason ... it just didn't do it for me.2) IMO ... I feel that the contrast of Graphite & Liquid Platinum would be a better match.
3) I've had two other vehicles with light colored leather interiors and I think this time I'm going to try something different.
That's about it. Once again ... thanks for your input everyone. Thank you very much for those of you who took the time to post pics for me to peruse. I really appreciate the feedback from all of you. Pics on my new G will be following shortly.
Anyway ... it is now time to indulge in sun, surf, and ... friendly native women!
Bali ... here I come!! 
Aloha ...

I'd like to piggy back on this. I'm currently deciding between graphite and stone for the Slate Blue. I can't decide. I'm leaning a little bit more towards the stone because I like the contrast of the black dash, the stone leather and the washi finish. I'm a woman in my mid-20's if that makes much of a difference. The stone seems a little more feminine.
Your thoughts??
Thanks in advance!

i generally dont like dark interiors. my previous car had cream seat, cream headliner and cream insert on the dorrs. everthing else was black. i got the stone interior on the g for the same reason. dealer gave me an option if i wanted blacl mats or stone. i went with stone a) cuz thats the original colors its suppose to come with and b) i didnt like the look of haivng black mats with grey carpet/floormats. now if the entire floor was black carpet with black matts.......

Hey - I actually like that! I was trying to picture it and didn't think it'd look that good... Nice job.
BTW - is that a bluetooth doo-dad on your vent? The BT on the G didn't work with your phone?

Hahah. Yeah, just a car freshener. They used to sell them at Target, and refills, too, but now, the only place that sells them is Home Depot. They don't sell refills, so if any of you know where to find them, let me know.
The black mats hide stains well, but dirt, rocks, leaves, any crap from your shoes, they'll obviously be more apparent. I love the look of the stone being sandwiched between the layers of graphite.

What's up guys. I'm back from Bali (Indonesia). Best surfing trip ever! I just wanted to let you guys know that even while I was on my trip, I thought about my interior color choice. One evening, I went over to an internet cafe in the area where I was staying and saw pictures that some of you had posted. After looking over the pics, I emailed my wife and had her call the dealership and change it to the Stone interior. Yep ... moment of wishy-washiness! 
G-Whizzer ... you made a good point when you said that it made the cabin feel more open and airy. I agree. When I looked at the pics of the Graphite interior, I had a feeling that it felt more enclosed and not as spacious. I know it's all mental but good point nonetheless.
bienson ... awesome pictures. Very clean. You made a big difference in changing my mind. Thanks for taking the time to post those pics!
GoofyG28 ... very nice pictures! I love how you showed the contrast with the dark floor mats. You sealed the deal for me. Thanks for posting and giving me an idea of how the stone interior looks with the contrasting colors!
Well ... now all I have to do is wait for my "G" to come in. I'll be sure to post when that happens. Thanks again for all of your help and input.
