Default Need opinions

So I'm heading to Mexico next week and dropping my truck off at the upholstery shop to get the carpet replaced (they dropped a soldering gun on it when doing the seat heaters).

I need your opinions on what else to do while it's in there. I'd like to do a suede headliner but am unsure of the color to do (black, tan or blue) but if I do anything other than tan I need to wrap or dye the pillars...

My other idea is to leave the headliner and pillars alone and put some blue leather on the doors to match the seat inserts. Likely just replace the black vinyl around the door handles.

Any opinions or other ideas?

I'm kinda fond of the idea of an accent color. If blues the color, why not carry it over to the doors? Heck, see if they can put a blue racing strips on the headliner. If you're gonna get custom work done, it might as well look custom.

Personally I would rock a suede headliner in the stock color but because you have those unreal seats that have a good pop then yeah do the head liner in a black suede then have the pillars painted or dyed. I am sure this place you speak of is good but just really make sure that they have a good system of dying the plastic because nothing is worse than if it chips easily and the tan comes through again right but then again it would be easy to touch up. And yeah throw some more blue in there hit those door panels with a shot of leather/vinyl to complete the look. Although it is a real ***** job if you do convert to all black/blue then do a back light color change in the instruments to blue. That suma batch should pop hard then.

Lol I am going to Mexico. The truck is going to the upholsetry shop for the week I'm away.

I really like the idea of the black headliner with the blue pillars. The doors will definetely get the blue treatment as well eventually. I will post up some pics as soon as it's all done.

Thanks for the input guys. You always help me when I'm ready to open my wallet
