I personally don't like the color combo, but I've never owned an early RX-7, so I don't know what's accurate, popular or acceptable for that particular car.

I'm not trying to match the original brown color but add something new.

My car was a burgundy interior and I've changed it over to black. All that is left is the carpet. I also have a set of TII seats that are blue and need to be reupholstered. So what I was thinking is doing a completely custom interior color.

I've been thinking of doing this for about a month. I think it would look good with the outside done like the photoshop.

The guy that owns the car in the last pic needs to learn what a vacuum is.

Maybe go with black on the seats where the vinyl is and brown down the center.
