Black and tan go well together. Personally, I'd color match the carpet and headliner though.

Picture a black carpet, headliner and rear deck, tan A, B and C pilar trim and two tone seats. That would be pretty sweet.

You're confusing me LOL

Did I miss what colors you have in there already? I'm kinda going by what will also be easier. The dash is your biggest hurdle so we might want to start there.

color 1:
carpet, headliner, rear deck and dash. Maybe seatbelts too

color 2:
A B and C piliar trim

colors 1 & 2:
seats and door panels

the only colors there are in the car right now is a tan dash ,a tan rear deck,tan door trims ,tan seatbelts,tan seats,and no carpet

my proposed course of action was to

get a tan dash cap

get black carpet

tan vinal headliner

tan marine grade vinal seat coverings

tan seat belts

tan rear deck coverings

pait the door trim black and the console black

the dash inlay is woodgrain

and the door panels are tan and do a black on tan 2 tone seat

That sounds good too. What'* a "dash cap".

I'm part way through a two tone interior so if you haven't seen my car yet, click on the www link below my posts. It'* not as extensive as what you have planned but it might give you some ideas.
