Black or Tan
After picking up GB's black/tan sport seats and micro-sueding my interior last fall/winter I thought it would better with the black interior. I picked up a black carpet package off CF and it has been sitting in the box in my garage since last fall.
At this point I need to decide whether to keep the tan interior or swap out for the black. What do you all think?

Can't go wrong with black but it's not my car and I really don't like tan anyway unless it's some hand tooled Ferrari interior.
I am obviously no help, good luck with your decision.

I would say black but thats because I want to change mine to black, I have seen one that was changed to tan that looked very nice made me think about tan over black. I have the light gray and think either would be better.

I'm thinking about black for my car simply because the light oak gets dirty easier.

I asked the GF lastnight if she thought the black interior would look better than the tan and she said no; she really likes the contrast. and When I was leaving 7-11 this morning a little kid stopped and looked in the window and said he liked the 'brown' color inside. So I'm leaning towards staying with the tan. You are in luck! I have a box of black interior carpet i'm looking at getting rid of now. I have to go back through the box again, I only have the carpet pieces, no trim parts and I don't remember seeing the rear center storage lid or the rear left side part (where the hatch light goes).

I like the light oak, but then again I may be a little biased.
