so im thinking about getting some hot pink and black leather seats put in my 8.. i already have the regular cloth ones but i think it would look good with the pink.. my bday i coming uphaha.. so i dont know if i should get some leather seats or a diff spoiler... what yall think?

 

Hot pink and black leather... vs a park-bench type spoiler...

 

pink leather....hmmmm doesnt sound right, keep the stock spoiler...i say buy some nice rims

 

yeah im thinking about getting my mom to get me some rims.. chrome maybe? and i dont want like all pink leather jus like pink and black. im not to sure how well that would look though lol

 

im a new member lol like i just signed up yesterday so yall are gonna have to tell me to post back and forth.. i think im doing it right idk.. im a blonde lol

 

I think we need some pics of you to see if you'd match the pink interior Have a myspace/facebook? haha

 

It is your car plus it will look good with the correct color scheme of car.

 

i think itll look good... idk the black and red looks pretty good and i could get the cloth on the door hot pink to

 

Did you have a kit in mind for this or a custom shop to do the conversion? It sounds like you have the black and red leather interior already and sadly we cannot take advantage of any aftermarket leather interior kits that I know of (Katzkin and Classic Soft Trim don't help us here). What color is the exterior of the car?

Nevermind... I would say find some nice 18" rims to replace those AT rims, but that's just me.

 

see thats the problem.. its just cloth so do u think i should jus get some other kind of seats for it

 

Do you find the seats comfortable? It all depends on your goals and what you want. If you want seats that are pink and black, by all means go for it! I didn't see pink on the Classic Soft Trim homepage, but I believe Katzkin has pink as a leather color. I can't seem to find any patterns from Katzkin and I don't really feel like digging around too much, but I seem to remember them stocking the door trim pieces in the matching two tone (in your case pink I would imagine) leather color. Personally I would also stick to the color scheme and possibly order a custom shift boot in black and pink (if the AT car has one that is...) check out Shiftstyle. I believe there was someone making arm rest leather covers that you could pick the colors for as well, but I can't remember who. Last thing I would personally do to a two tone custom leather interior would be to match the stitching to the other color (if that is not a standard thing).

 

Ah, I'd do the exterior first. But sure, go for the pink & black leather, haven't seen anyone do that.

 

wow finally someone else from alabama. i thought i was the only one.

 

The new interior sounds like it'd be pretty cool. Very unique

 

I think you should go with it.

Btw, where in Alabama are you? We have the Tennessee Valley RX-8 Club. We have a lot of fun!

Oh you definitely have to get yourself some pink leather. Make sure you get yourself a nice pink and black steering wheel. You gotta powder coat your rims.

 

One thing at a time man damn! But I agree, pink color-matched powder coated rims are a must... You coule probably pick up some stock 18s used on the FS forum, since the powder coating can be pretty pricey and you can get any imperfections out of them at the same time.

If you do the interior though, you'll have to post pics of it, I'm pretty curious about how it will look.

Just tossing this out there, pink ghost flames

 

what part of AL are you from?

 

ohh yeah that would look good with the rims.. my brother thinks that sounds stupid but think about it.. hot pink and black seats with a black car (rx8 of course i think it would look good.. but yeah im from florence alabama by the way lol
