my lsb vert w/ imola red interior

lsbm3nm · Mon, Jan-23-2012, 02:56:32 AM

After a 1500 mile road trip and 25 hrs of my life I became the proud new owner of an imola red interior (with black vinyl panels) for my lsb vert. After painting some the remaining grey trim pieces black, I have the new seats installed. Black armrest, center console, carpet and dash should be installed within the next week. Here are the results (so far):

Why man, why?

Good contrast, just a little much IMO.

But more importantly, you took a 25 hour trip to get an interior?

That looks crazy.. I love it.

Instead of spending $490 on shipping I spent $140 on gas to pick up the interior.

Yeah no... and here's why. The pictures do not reflect the true color of LSB, which is very green. Imola in no way looks good with LSB in person.

Good job for doing it... but I have Imola seats too and I know first hand, it doesn't work.

(Just want to make it clear that I'm not "hating" on your work.)

The camera is not portraying the true color of LSB, so it looks decent in the pics (superman colors)... but LSB doesn't look like that in real life and the match up is ODD.

The imola seats I have are not in my car, but are in my garage.

I've been waiting to see that combination. It's not that bad actually, I kind of like it. Did you paint/dye it. If so, how much of it?
If you ever want to trade it for black, let me know. I so want an Imola interior.
