I agree, besides the quality issue, the last thing you want is mismatched blue colors throughout the car. Buy a quality seat, and if need be let someone like JPM Coachworks match the blue in whatever design you wish. Good luck in your conversion.

itll be pretty hard to match the shade of blue unless i go with one direct source for everything however this whole project was purely a budget set up..
all the fund to gather this set up will and has cost no more than $2-300 for the moment. I understand what you guys mean by quality however the main purpose is to obtain a matching interior that suits the ABP exterior. Im not here for show credits or wow factor. To be honest if i were to do things the right way without factoring in the funds, i would have had everything professionally redone.. but im not financially able to throw thousands of dollars just to change the interior theme.
heres my price break down so far:
Suzuka blue door panels - $80 s2ki
suede shift boot - $10 ebay
steering wheel - $200 (friend)
blue stitching thread - $5
floor mats - ? (budget for this will be $100 or less)
seats - ? (budget for this will be $600-700
seat brackets - ? (already have driver side, will need to source passenger or modify oem)
so all in all, im expecting to spend somewhere around $1200 MAX..
for all who dont agree with my way, your telling me to go quality where each seat will cost atleast $1200 each.. thats just not worth it in my book.

I have always liked the look of a nice tan or brown interior on a blue car. I know it would be a tall order as you would have to change out a lot of the inside but it could look nice and keep that contrast without the bright yellow. This brown that wasn't offered int he US could look nice as well.

I've always loved that color as well, especially in a Championship White car! Not sure how it would look in APB.
As for the black/yellow in the CR's, I wasn't a fan at first but I guess it grew on me. Would have been cool if the stitching could have matched the body color.
