Please help me decide which interior

[markd]

I finally got to meet Ben Hermance at SEMA 2009 and we talked about what we could do to my interior. Since he did the rendering for my car, I felt it was only fitting for him to do an interior rendering. Like my wife says “I have way too much money into this car to f- it up now”! My only guidance to Ben was to tie the exterior theme into the interior. Ben created three great renderings and I am having difficulties selecting the one I like the best. The door panels and center console is from Chris Fesler. Please help me decide!

Thanks,

Mark

Original Rendering: The car does look like this now. I just need to finish the plumbing, electrical and interior.

I vote for the second version with the straight stripes on the door panels. I say this because it goes with the Ralley Stripes on the exterior. If you had the hockey sticks on the outside then I would vote for that interior theme.

And the plain version looks great too, but the stripe adds that littel extra "something" that makes it stand out. There are A LOT of plain black interiors out there.

Nice touch on the seats too Ben!:thumbsup:

I should have had you do one for my 70. Stock just is NOT going to cut it.

I like 1 Mark. You're all in dude. :D At the end of the day, I don't think it will be a huge decision.

[DEIGuy38]

[skatinjay27]

Eric: That’s exactly what I was thinking! But I do like the flow of #1

Todd: You are correct Sir. I am “all in” and then some! My wife calls the car her vacation home on wheels.

Thanks,

AJ: Ben likes #1 the best because of the same reason as you…it flows into the dash

[Spiffav8]

Mark I also have to say that #1 flows the best. It's simple and clean like the car. I think it adds a touch of class without being to much. Nice work! Can't wait to see the car finished.

:thumbsup:

[andrew5]

my vote is for #1

[MODO Innovations]

I vote #1. I think all 3 are good choices.

If you go with #3, I would do all dark and remove the light colored block on the top of the seats. Red stitching on the interior would tie in the red calipers to the overall design.

[Scorpner]

#1 looks the best to me. :thumbsup:

Okay -- So I'm going to toss a grenade in here... my personal experience --- I have a Gabe Lopez interior in my Nomad - it's grey - and lighter grey -- and the elephant in the room is the turquoise 1" stripe running thru the door panels and the seats....

NOW -- If I wanted to so a simple color change on the car - I'm STUCK re-doing the interior too....

So lets say you decided on a white stripe on the exterior - and you match this with the interior -- and 5 years from now you want to change the white to Titanium -- your stuck.

Just something to think about.

Ben is great to work with. I voted for #2

Greg: Great point and exactly why I want to get this right the first time. Once I make up my mind there is no turning back, because I cannot afford to make any changes later.

OK tangent...checking out your project website, I see you want to go with the Fesler center console and door panels. Does Chris have them out yet? Last I talked to them (last month) they said they were a few months out. I too want them...please let me know if you have an update on them.

Great project. I vote for # 2 to stay consistent with the ralleys.

Yes, the center console and door panels are from Fesler. I don’t have an ETA on them, but I am a few months out from finishing the interior. Plus, all the stuff I have gotten from Fesler is high quality and worth the wait.

[awr68]

My vote is for #1

Can I borrow #3 for my Marquez panels? :)

[RECOVERY ROOM]

Number 1

[jr421]

I voted for 2 but I think Greg made an excellent point I would consider going to a solid color.

[Ron Fox]

My vote is for #2. The lines match the lines in the seats and the color breaks it up visually.

[syborg tt]

I am with Greg - I like the idea of an all black interior - you can't go wrong.

but if i was a voting man 2a

[markd]

Wow, this is a very close race between renderings one and two!

[waynieZ]

I voted number 1 it just draws me to it more than the others. Later if you want to change and don't have the money maybe you could have the stripe dyed.
