After trying to piece together everything i have decided to just purchase a complete interior kit. Ive been online and haven't had much luck finding the right color I want. Please post your VS light to med brown interior pics for me and let me know what the color is called. Thank you!

Slammed - here is a picture of my car interior during its build at VS. Its 'Cinnamon' with black contrast piping. I originally thought I wanted the 'Tan' or 'Palomino' color but this color really goes well with my black car.
FWIW here's a pic of the car in my garage, under fluorescent lighting. The lighting seems to give a slight orange tint to the color.
VS subs out to an interior shop that has speedster patterns. You need to have a vinyl material mfg name and item number of the vinyl you want and give that to Kirk Mary or Cathy at VS....I mostly use "Elantra" brand vinyl , it is soft and very close to leather.
Very, very nice, Jim.
Alan, generally speaking, is a Speedster seat the same size as most other Speedster seats ? What I'm getting at, is I'll likely go with a new interior to keep up with the new paint. I've got an older IM with Speedster seats. Do you think the Vintage repros would fit what I need ? I like the colour choices.
Thanks.
Just did a search on Elantra brand vinyl and got nothing on what you refer to, Alan. Could you elaborate where we could search directly to get some choices ? thx
Nice Jim, looks killer! Im thinking something very similar to that maybe with a brown or tan carpet instead of black. Worried about getting it dirty but Im a clean freak so hopefully i can prevent it.
Jim,
I've seen some questionable, even regrettable, interior 'color' choices that simply didn't work with the body color....BUT NEVER WITH BLACK!!
Black's a neutral that compliments ANY COLOR Interior...any T-shirt...Hawaiian flower shirts...even hair ribbons!
Hyundai on the brain I did mean (Allante) tnx Marty
Marty dialog me your Limon-chello recipe pls
Jim;
Lighting shades, color or not, that is beautiful. Just a bit lighter, than a furniture leather color, called Cognac. (See Restoration Hardware's site.) I think I'll have one!
This is Camel from a 2007 Vintage Speedster build.
Jim--that is one killer Speedster. You certainly nailed it---just beautiful.
Awesome colour choice MusbJim. Here's our daily-driver. Chose the "Autumn" leather from Katskin Leather when we bought the car new. Not normally available at most Kia dealers. Certainly not here in Canada. Fell in love with this tone coupled with black years ago when I saw a car in Hot Rod magazine with the combo.......beautiful!
Looks almost identical to your car's interior colour. Slammed23window, it's very important to know the specific manufacturer and their colour name or code for a specific choice of vinyl or leather. I was lucky that my dealer had a Katskin book full of about 150 actual leather samples when we chose it. I've looked at Katskin's site and "Autumn" on there looks nothing like the real thing. Very difficult to remotely choose colour on Internet photo samples because the source picture may not be dead accurate and the monitor may not show true colour either.
Great interiors! At VS they are asking if i want flap pocket door panels(like a purse) or elastic pocket panels. Ive never seen the flap style and I'm not sure which elastic ones they are taking about ( Full width of door or the small center pocket)
That's very classy looking with the flap.
By the way, how are you finding the speedster seats, Jim? I'm debating switching out my roadster seats for those.

Ted - these seats are VERY comfortable! They are slightly wider than my previous VS seats. My previous VS had similar style seats but with a deeper bucket. Those seats held you nice & firm during spirited cornering but on long highway drives they would eventually get uncomfortable for my big ass!
The Roadster seats are plush comparatively speaking, but don't give as much lateral support! 
Shyt talk...y'all. (-: anyone know where you can buy Patina ? I've got it and my car won't when it comes out of the shop. We used to be a pretty good match. What to do now, eh ? I did get a haircut today but that's not much of a start...
Both my A coupe and the B roadster had those flapped pockets plus arm rests just above them...comfortable holding the steering wheel at 10 o'clock.
Dan Borunda at A&M upholstery in Norwalk is who Vintage uses for trimming. Dan is a nice guy and he is real busy.
