Leather Seat Color...what To Do!?

Alright, so I've got to come up with a color scheme before my supplier will actually be able to start on production for my leather seats.

We're talking about a 1991 Lexus LS 400.  Black exterior and dark gray/light gray interior.  The dash is dark gray and so are the door linings, etc.  I'm thinking about kicking the light gray to the curb and creating a dark gray/black interior.  Would this be a good option to go with black leather seats?  I want piping on them but I don't know what color piping will look good on black leather seats inside of a dark gray/black interior.

Cliffs notes: Black LS 400 / dark gray/light gray interior.  What color leather seats (+piping) should I get if I'm keeping the dark gray and tearing out the light gray?

Here's my current interior (dark gray will stay/light gray will go):

Pictures will help me with ideas.  Thanks- (arigatou)

Off the topic, where did you get the woodgrain kit and shiftknob from? I have the same color interior in my UCF11 so I want to see what people suggest also.

Who is making the replacements for you? I can't decide between a seat cover from Japan such as Clazzio (sp), or a full replacement like you. The seat covers are actually pretty nice if you haven't looked into them yet, and a bit less spendy. I see alot of the guys using the covers in the VIP Style Mags.

Replacements are the way to go.  I'm so tired of my original leather just ripping up.  I don't want to just cover up her flaws, she needs the full body treatment.

My shiftknob is a Napolex Levoc. [url]http://www.napolex.co.jp/[/url]

The woodgrain kit is custom.  I'm trying to get my hands on the Wald ones though.

Will hopefully be changing out the steering wheel as well.  I ordered a Nardi a while back but when I got it I realized it was too small.  It fit INSIDE my stock steering wheel.  Ever since then, I haven't been able to find the right size Nardi for a good price.  Still waiting, patiently.

Let me know how the replacements look, I was thinking about ordering some from [url]www.leatherseats.com[/url], they are about 800 for the fronts, which is pretty reasonable, and a bunch of the people from CL have been happy with them. thanks for the shift knob info!

Tear out light gray, put black in its' place,to blend the exterior.

[QUOTE=Brandicus;51049]Lets talk about your steering wheel, aftermarket or restitched? Ive been looking for an aftermarket wood grain steering wheel for a long time.[/QUOTE]

haha, get Nardi!  I'm in the process of ordering one, hence I'm able to find one with a Toyota hub adapter in 350mm size.

I got the leather seats from them (pictures are in the Lexus/Toyota forum).  I will tell you this, they look great and I'm 100% satisfied with the quality.  if you go leather seat covers, go with Garson or Anceltion.  They look pretty darn good for non-direct replacements.
