My obsession with a Black and Orange theme

[Ghost147]

I don't know what it is, but for some reason I don't find anything more attractive (color wise) on a vehicle than Black with Orange detailing. However, it's not a popular color unfortunately. Our choices are generally Black, Red, and Blue.

So I'm wondering if there is anyone else out here who share's this love for Black and Orange, and - more importantly - where are some sources that actually sell parts that are orange? Seats, for example are ridiculously difficult to find.

Photoshopped some older photo's you guys have already seen, but here's kind of what I'm looking for.



I want to throw on a few smaller things, just to give the interior some character (color wise), nothing over the top. Just looking for some suggestions.

No more orange inside, that's plenty, BUT I would love a black/orange exterior theme, again not much, little highlights, well as subtle as orange could be anyway

[Ghost147]

Yeah, I don't want to make the interior 'glow' with orange. Honestly, I wouldn't even want those seats in that photo, too much orange for me. Which is where the issue comes in. I'm not sure what kind of seats I can replace the stock with, without having to do some serious remodeling. Then again, I haven't found a single orange seat anyway!

I'm at a loss!

Actually looking at them again,i'm starting to like those seats, but possibly with headrests left black. Can't say I've seen many orange trimmed seats besides a Focus or Fiesta ST's

or maybe something old school?

Hah! no thanks!

If only it was as easy to remake the color of a seat as it is to recolor it in photoshop.

Go to any automotive reupholstery shop and ask them to do it?

It'll probably cost less than Photoshop.

I love Lamborghini Orange.

And classic Porsche Orange.

But I don't think I'd carry it to the interior of a modern car. I might think about orange stitching on black leather if the exterior of my car was orange...

factory seats/dash panels/door panel wrapped in black leather with orange stitching. with all black plus all the red stitching re-done in orange it will be just enough to stand out. especially since the orange will be much brighter than the red stitching.

then exterior. orange aftermarket calipers with black lettering, plus orange aftermarket rear control arms or something similar so its noticeable from the side plus driving behind, but not obnoxious.

most people go overboard and it just looks bad. it really doesn't take much to look nice but oem+

Hmmm, I'll have to get a quote then! Good idea!

Yup, That's exactly what I'm looking for. Nothing over the top. Just simplistic and attractive

It's not black but I like the orange detailing on this:

Exterior wise, I'm not quite sure what I'm going to go with. Wanted to throw on a front lip, and side skirts, also nothing too crazy. Something like this excluding the fenders



But, I'm debating if having the orange body kit pieces still being too loud.

Works for me!

Oh man, I've always loved this concept pic. I don't think I would be able to rock it on my daily driver, but I love the look so much.
