Default Roush HTC interior

I am looking to upgrade my crappy factory leather seats. My interior is currently tan leather seats. Total interior is tan and black with brushed aluminum trim. I saw the seats pictured below for sale... they are brand new and was wondering if these would look good or not in my car....

Thoughts and opinions.... or suggestions on another seat cover replacement option? I had also considered Katzskin but from their site i can't seem to get the seat covers for side airbags. Won't allow me to chose the option.

I think they would look good but would need more info. It looks like factory seats with an insert. So you'd still have a "frame" of the crappy factory stuff. Looks though, pretty nice

The only thing still utilized is the factory frame itself and airbags. It's all new leather / suede combo with new padding due to the support and bolstering.

my door panels are tan with the black insert...so I am trying to visualize what black leather seats with blue stiching / badging would look like with tan doors...

Hhhmm, tough. If the panels are the only other thing inside your car thats tan, might look like you have aftermarket seats. Like kind of out of place. I mean, I bet later down the road you could redo the door panels to match the seats, and then you got a totally custom interior. Other wise I think it looks half down. Just my opinion, and its worth as the next guys!

It's a pain to install those. Ask Roushperformance for installation instructions. Dont pass out when you read the instructions.
