I love your interior. I wanted a WB and planned on doing that had I bought one. One of the few things I'm not crazy about on the 8 is the interior when it's all black—with its smallish windows, it feels too dark to me. But with the colored seat inserts—or the parchment leather, like mine 
—I really like it.
—I really like it.
you beat me at the car show last week

anyone notice the blue paint on the side mirrors...Not sure I like paint on top of that bumpy plastic...looks kinda weird to me. Maybe a close up will help me decide. It could just be that I haven't seen anyone else do that to the mirror is why it may look weird to me...I dont know....

ok...first i am a female, thanks Kel for setting that straight & nice meetin u the other nite at the meet... and good eye on spotting the mirrors kwescott, but they are not bumpy...the shop sanded them smooth, just like the rear end of the body kit (orig. black from the factory if u remember) and they debadged it too.. ...the stickers r comin off as soon as i get the new body kit...the interior was cheap since the shop is kinda sponsoring me (only $1000) and they still have to do the shift boot and some parts on the console and dash

Suede inserts look good on your ride.
Interesting aproach painting the side mirror covers. If I painted the black section I would do piano black. Nice thing is the small painted section pops off. So painting the the section underneath is easy and there is not any taping to do.
Adding color can make them look bigger they do a great job of giving the optical illusion that they are small with the little painted cover.
The color also takes the point away that the front window comes to where the mirrors are.
Noticed this model already has the mirror and mount painted:
