Two Tone Seats

[Custom88]

The entire interior on the 2nd gen is two tone. Just curious what you thought of two tone seats as well. The seats are setup perfectly to do this. You could either stitch in new leather, or just dye the leather that is in there now. I think it would look great to have the inside of all the seats dyed to the same color as the dash.

Example 2005 Bonneville interior rear seat:

Hmm, a photoshop of the neutral color (I'm assuming your interior is neutral as like 95% of the cars are) might help. I could see it looking better on grey than the neutral.

I think the whole seat is one piece, though. But since it's surface colored leather anyway, it would be very easy to remove, mask off, and redye/paint the next color. In fact, Leatherique sells leather dye that they can color match (I'm sure other places do too).

It would be interesting at the very least.

they look nice. wow they dont look cracked or anything like mine are.

after thinking about it, it probably wouldn't look right on my car because my interior is the very light colored interior. That means the middle of the seats would be darker than the rest of the seat. Almost always the center of the seats is lighter than the rest. would probably not look quite right with my interior color. But it is an idea for those with the darker color interior. (aren't there only a few possible interior colros for the 2nd gen each with the same two color tones?)

I think one way to make it look good is to try and match the grey in the centre console, to ensure consistancy, but introducing a new colour...might now go so well.

However, my dash is two tone brown and it aint TOOO bad

my interior is the exact same as yours Jim. Jim...is your steering wheel really worn? I mean the leather part going around the wheel. Mine is so worn, its brown in spots too, its horrible. To get a new wheel, not including the airbag would be 600 dollars as quoted from my GM dealer LOL

You could dye the rest of the seat the darker color, then. But I really don't think with the neutral color it will look right. It's more of a grey/black thing.

its nice to see that the interiors on the 2nd gen Auroras are very similar to the interiors on the classics....very similar dash layout and seats...good to know incase i do buy a 2nd gen to keep my classic company

From an owner of the 2nd gen, and test driver of a classic, I liked the classic interior better. I loved its little quirks - and I liked the combination of curves and squares throughout. It also felt much more solid than the 2nd gen, I think they cut some corners (though not many!) when they redid it.
