Question Blue w/ chaparrel

I've always wondered... why not put the chaparrel interior on the blue? I suppose it would look better on the dark blue exterior, but has anyone tried photochopping this combo? I'll do it if I get around to it.

Anybody actually switch interior colors?

Hope rotary convert doesn't mind me chopping his image.

I'm not a pro, but you can get the idea. I think it looks good, though!

I've actually never understood why anyone would WANT chaparrel.

The local dealership had two cars that I wanted, but couldn't get due to both having chaparrel leather inside.

Winning Blue

It's the stock Winning Blue. All I did was change the black leather interior to chaparrel. Don't know color code.

I love the 2-tone interior (I like red/black interior, but would definitely not work on blue), and it's a prerequisite on the model I buy, but blue currently comes only with black int.

My 4 choices (in order of preference) are:

-Strata Blue Mica w/ chap interior (Blue only in Japan on "Speed" model, and combination not available at all). Availability: none.

- Winning Blue (available) w/ chap interior (combo not available)
Availability: if dealer would swap seats... possible. Maybe option for 2005?????????

- Velocity Red w/ red interior (afraid of tickets) Likelihood: stock
- Titanium w/ red interior ("safety") Likelihood: stock

Match?

Says you, pal.

Well, I guess Mazda does, too.

You've got to agree that it looks better than red/chap!!!!!

I've gotta say though, Nubo's yellow/yellow is absolutely F*!@'in sick looking.

Maybe too bold for me, though, as is WHealy's blue/blue (although he did a fantastic job).

How'bout this?

What about a light tan color w/ the Winning Blue? If you don't think tan and blue go together, check out a new midnight blue Acura TL w/ the 2-tone tan/black interior. Smooth.

BTW, no offense to mikeb... just my personal opinion that the chap is too orange to go w/ red.
