OK fellas i need a little advice. As some of you know, my interior is blue.. Not just any blue, I'm talking completely blue. Some day i may swap, but for now its in too nice of shape to do that. However, I would like to add some contrast. Do you guys think that black mats, and maybe even black seats would clash too much with all the blue?

Reference:










Thanks for your opinions!

Wow. Ive never seen such a blue interior. I like it.

But I bet with black carpet, shift boot, and some seats would set it off.
And if you went crazy with it spray the top half of your dash black.

Then youd just need a black steering wheel.

But the blue sets it apart, makes it unique.

Here are a couple picture of my interior to give you an idea of the contrast. I changed the carpet from red to charcoal grey. I did the door panel and the rear quarters also. I would like to get my seat redone some day.

These are all great suggestions. I didn't even consider changing the carpet to black, but that is a good idea. I'll start with the carpet and mats. The **** boot will stay cause i got that from redline goods and i would like to keep that.. Thanks guys for all the suggestions!!!

I agree with everything above and definitely the carpet first... I think it would also look better without the blue shifter boot imo. By the way, I love the rear heater core option, I thought that only came in suburbans and navigators.
