Color combo

I asked this question in the past, but here it goes again . . .

Will a silver exterior look okay with a tan interior? I am repainting the car on March 21st, and I do not want to repaint it black. I want something different.

What other color combos would look good?

Deep metallic green, Deep burgandy or blackberry metallic. White?

Not many colors go well with tan interiors.

Change the interior over to black and not worry about it. I did this to my 92 since it was tan and brown. I had a parts car to get almost all the parts from though. If you find a junk yard that has a black interior they might let you swap it out...they shouldnt charge you much though if you do buy the whole thing instead of swapping maybe a couple hundred or so.

That is what I would do and then you can paint it any color you want to.

dark blue would look good or swap the interior like Michael said. I had that color in my gxe and I hated it.

I've given up on the interior swap. There are no good junkyards around here, so I cannot get ahold of everything I need. I was going to get the interior out of Da-Max's car, but S&H was going to be a *****.

Does anyone think that the silver would look good wth the tan? I am stuck with the interior more or less.

I want a color that is easy to maintain and doesn't look dirty everytime the friggin wind blows.

perhaps if you get a silverish tint on the windows to help hide the tan interior. Just seems like a lighter car color should have a darker interior, and vise versa just my opinion

No, a tan interior would look horrible on a silver car. Paint the car dark blue or Ruby Pearl (since they the best color for 3rd gens)

I would aslo agree with the deep metalic green. That would look good with the tan interior. Good Luck.

I think that Red and tan would be a good combo.

I've got black...it looks okay, but I got the brown dash and door panel, which I hate. If they were all black, it would be better.

I have all the black interior parts you would need to change the seats,door pannels, center console,etc. If you want them let me know.
