Ah yeah...I remember all that stuff from my car. Canyon Red is a much more forgiving color than Scarlet.
Cool, glad to see some progress.

yea, I like this color a bit better. now I can shampoo the carpet.... can't believe all the game tokens under the seats either. It's like a won at the slots in there... lol

Hmmm....well, I did white and things definitely contrasted:


 

 


But I don't know about dark grey...maybe in the door panel inserts, but elsewhere, I'm not sure. It may be too dark. Those are the same issues I had with the Canyon interior, and ultimately I solved the problem by simply changing interior colors. ;)

I'm thinking maybe gray armrests, and the trim that connects to the door pulls.

If you do that whole middle section in grey (armrest, speaker grille, door pull, insert, map pocket, main door "backbone"), then yes, it will look pleasing.
Leave the top part Canyon, and leave the carpeting on the bottom of the door panel in Canyon.

If you mix and match too much grey and Canyon together, then you will lose any kind of visual impact and cohesiveness. It's very easy to do this the wrong way...I've seen it before and it can be not pretty.

I think I'll have to do some photoshopped pics of that, and see what it looks like.... scratch that. I'll have to find someone to do that for me... lol

cool. thanks Eric
I think it may need something in the back as well

maybe a pic with just the upper middle gray like the white section on yours..
I also have a set of gray seatbelts from a vert stang with matching rear shoulder belts.
I think hints of gray may be the way to go with all that red

Here you go...middle part of the door, back panel area, and I also threw in the speaker grilles because it looked "right":
 


Contrasting seat belts are always good. As long as they're from a Mustang, you're good to go in the convertible.

I'm liking this one a lot more. What if the door pull was gray also? it would line things up better with the speaker on the front part I think
