I have blue and black alcantara, and I'm making a new shift boot.

I can't decide if it should be black or blue... what does everyone think?

I've got black and blue alcantara, and I can use black and blue stitching... Of course I can mix and match, too, but I think something like alternating blue and black on the four sides would look weird.

Black. No other blue forward of the front seats, so it'll look weird.

Default Yeah, I'm leaning towards black with blue stitching and using the blue to recover the headrests...

I really wanted to use the black with some blue accent to recover the steering wheel, but the damn bolt I've got isn't big enough to do it in one piece of black...

Default i used to want a blue one, but there's no other blue on the car.

i opted for silver w/ black stitching. i think the black with blue stitching would be cool too.

Default Yeah I wanted to do black except the small patch of leather where the S4 logo was...

That was going to be blue, but the bolt I have isn't long enough to wrap all the way around the length of the wheel in one piece. I may try to track down a longer bolt. This one only cost me ten bucks, though, so I can't really complain.
