Cause blue kicks @ss! You haven't seen too much blue unless you've seen a Laguna seca blue on Laguna seca blue M.. the ultimate smurfmobile lol. Go ahead with it Steve, just pick a darker shade, I think it will look badass, once you go blue you can't go back

hmmm... I'm not feeling what I see in that picture. To be honest, its border line ricey. How about black leather and have it double stitched in blue! That might look nice. The blue wont be so overwhelming, and be more of an accent to the smooth black interior to keep a classy, luxury look.

Agreed.

Seem like most, including myself, aren't too fond of that light blue. A darker color would look better. Even a subtle navy blue or something like that might keep an elegant look. With as nice as your G looks on the outside, I think you're obligated to keep a classy look on the inside. Ok, maybe obligated is a little strong, but it sounds like you really want some mag coverage. Don't cheap out on the interior and I think you'll get your spread. Not saying that you're spending too little on the interior (I seriously doubt it ), but that light blue looks cheap as hell. Sure, you can take the popular style for inspiration, but execute it with the G class.

oh believe me,i've seen everything.infact i saw that M somewhere.not in person but in mag or the net.i also seen M with that chrome paint.and yes,i said the samething "too much".
there're cars that goes all out in 1 color theme in the magazines.that doesn't mean you have to make your look like that.but again,whatever float the boat.
honestly Steve,what under the hood is fine.seats and doors are fine.i actually like the seats.it better to let go the steering wheel,the shift boot.and the center console is a 50/50 coin toss.
and if you can,change the sun shade to red...haha..j/k i'm pushing it right there.

I think it looks really cool...prally one of those things that will look 1000 times better in person too - once your sitting inside, wrapped in blue suede..Mmmmm, i bet itll be nice!

However, if i were doing it (which im not - and prally why a car i own will never be in a mag) i would do all black with blue piping...maybe black suede headliner, and some other very subtle blue touches......but then again, thats not flashy enough to accomplish your goal of being a mag car + show winner.

For what you are going for - i think its perfect.....


any idea how much it would be to cover the oem seats in Red Alcantra or suede????? id love to acheive the "Bride" or "sparco" look while maintaining the heated seats and my LCD screens in the headrests...Any ideas on this???

I know what you mean, I too agree that blue stitching on the steering wheel and seats would look the best. Once you do the headliner, seats and doors blue, it IS going to be too much blue, but I happen to like blue. I don't know about the center console, I've seen it painted DB on a Z and it looked sweet in person, but the Z's original interior looks worse than ours. I think if he can color match the suede, it will look nice. If I were him, I'd actually look into blue tint and painted blue wheels, I saw a blue M with painted HRE's, looked SICK! Here's a pick of how blue suede kinda looks with leather, don't like the color though
