Did I hear a vote for a bee "hood ornament"? Now that's something I'd love to see!

Those look absolutely fantastic in that yellow car!
I just ordered the same work;Classic Soft Trim,excepting I've gone with black leather sides and perforated charcoal leather centers in my Ti Gray 8,along w the embroidered logo in charcoal.
While I'm there,it's time for the computer-cut tint (no ninny NEAR my rear defrost/antenna-I've been THERE before,lol!) and they also offer factory badges in dark charcoal chrome,so am likely to do that,also.

That yellow's gotta' make you smile every morning!

Nubo...loosk great....have a friend with a yellow cougar with same pattern leather.

you mentioned it earlier...go with WHEELSKINS for the wheel. I had one for about 2 years, they are great, but take about 45 minutes to install perfectly...a lot of sewing!

You know, I was pondering the same idea when I got my leather interior at CST but then decided that having the black with the gray will be kinda dull. I wanted to have something more lively :D
Here is the thread with my interior...
I think that their brick / black combo would also look sweet with the titanium.

I like a more low-key,old-school monotone euro approach,the red's too much for my taste.
(Damn,am I getting OLD or what?) :D
The charcoal I'm getting's only a tiny bit off of their black,I don't like gray at all in leather,and I'm offsetting the inserts with perforated leather,which will add a nice texture.
Am thinking of doing the gray headliner over in OEM smooth- match charcoal vinyl,as well,I figure it'd be easier to clean and better looking than the (ugly,imo) gray nylon-esque headliner.
I went with regular,grained leather,not the OEM 'smooth',like you did with the red/black-but I like the lower-key red that you installed,it did make me think for a minute,for sure,and it does look righteous!

I don't know about that... but I just turned 40 last month, so I guess I qualify as old too :D

Oh, I see... that'll look pretty good I think. Are you not afraid that the perforated leather will wear worse than the non-perforated? Also, will stuff not stick into the holes more or be harder to clean?

Interesting idea... I'm not sure how hard it is to remove the headliner from this car or whether I'd want to take apart the 8 more than I did already :D

Thanks... I like it so far a lot. Hope it will wear well.
What exactly is that 'regular, grained lether' like? I don't remember that type of leather when I selected mine at CST. It sounds nice - maybe I should have gotten that too.

The 'smooth',OEM leather doesn't really have much grain,and I like that,but I saw the 'regular',grained leather and it reminds me of Porsche leather,so I went in that direction.
I'll keep you posted on the headliner,am talking to them in the morning about that very notion.....I despise the dirt-grabbing gray nylon-covered stock unit,and I only have 670 miles on my car.

Update:

The perforated charcoal leather in the centers will be 'smooth',the outer will have more visible grain.
I went with charcoal perforated inserts,and am having the headliner changed to black at the same time (goodbye,dirty gray!)
they also offer computer-cut tint,so I added that,and they're sending all my badges to AZ to have them plated in opal-tint black pearl.

Pics when I get back from Europe in a couple of weeks.

Nubo, would you mind uploading some more pics, it seems they have been removed from the server. I would love to see the yellow interior, I was just thinking about this for a black 8.

Thanks

I don't remember Nubo's interior specifically. Was it the yellow version of the factory red/chaparral or like the prototype? Here's mine which is like the prototype 8 minus the steering wheel & dash color.

Thanks G-Rex and Nubo. Both interiors look great. Certainly what I was hoping to see!
