Audi had a very similar combo on the 99-01 bodystyle S4... I loved it. If that combo had been available, I would have bought it.

Absolutely. I don't like leather, but I still might have bought it.

Yea, Black/Blue would be nice on Winning Blues. I've seen a few on eBay with Black/Blue leather and upholstery. I figure they had it done themselves.

Completely agree. I'm going to have the door panels and seats wraped this coming summer. Might do the steering wheel.

Why Brown (YUCK) and not Blue.

You're not the only one—had I found a Winning Blue, I would've had custom-made blue leather insert seats & door trim panels made. At first I thought blue is kind of a weird color for leather, and it is—more of a '50s/'60s kind of thing. But in a WB RX-8 I think it would look good. Plus the all-black interior is just too dark and monotonous for me.

Check the Color selector top Left. Black and Royal perforated suedeskin would be HIT in a Winning Blue. It's nicer then factory leather, and a lot of the installers would be able to install seat heaters too.

Yoo bad I found a GG... THough I might go a little crazy and do Black/orange...

Blue exterior, blue leather with white stripes ... maybe. But I have had too many blue cars so black is the new blue or is it the old blue. Ah, blue is blue, black is black, and this post sucks.

you know what would be wicked? blue everything! Blue rims with blue tires (i know they make red tires so blue wouldn't be impossible - if it already doesn't exist). Then you can have blue tints and blue consoles with blue LEDs and blue mats

Man now the word "blue" sounds weird now...

I don't know if I'd like the blue but damn I wish I had the red/black combo instead of just black, in fact I wish I had cloth!!! Then my seats wouldn't be showing wear at 57k miles!! Probably have a few coffee stains though!

I thought the early 04 winning had a black/blue upholstery like the VR ones. I find most duo-tone leather interiors tacky.... unless it's alcantara/suede materials.

I used the color selector and graphit with blue inserts looks nice. It would lighten up the interior.

WHealy was the man. He modded his RX-8 for this:

No, no he is not. A dark blue and black set up like the current red and black would look nice. Especially on the new Blue RX8.

Yes a blue/black leather combo would be nice. I have seen a BMW M Coupe with that kind of combination, looked really sharp.

Actually green / green would be in better taste. Orange / orange a close 2nd. Yellow / yellow in 3rd.
