TR6 Pictures of TR6 seats requested [ideas too!]

With the current prices of the seat kits and foams I've found a local custom seat place that can make custom seat covers and foams for the TR6. I was thinking of going with a 'New Tan' color that would be close to what she originally might have come with, but that would also go with pretty much any exterior paint color that she might end up wearing a couple of years from now.

Any ideas for me or pictures for me?
 
I always liked the contrasts of colors. The black on tans looks great. If you try to match the color of the car it's personally too much of the same. However it's your car do what your mind thinks is best for you.

The best thing I ever did and I was doing some customizing on my TR250 is I used cloth instead of vinyl for the seats. I had the upholster use the old seats covers for a pattern and he saved a bunch of time with that idea. We picked out a color very close to the trim panels and I was very happy. I've driven the car for 3 hours plus and not got that vinyl burn on the bottom side that we are so accustom to in these cars. I liked it so much and go received so many complements that I did it to my TR6. This time only the top part of the seats is cloth. The sides and back are vinyl.

This is not my car but a photo I aquired from somewhere and modeled my interior after it.

Here is the interior I put in my '73 a year ago. The seat covers and panels are "New Tan" from TRF and the foam kit came from BPNW.
