I'm debating keeping the black and red stitching theme and having JPM do all the panels over with real leather and Alcantara, or doing a color change and going with a sort of cream beige for the seats, headliner, center console, and door panel sections. I think it would contrast nicely with the Galaxy Blue exterior. I'd probably try to have them do the center portions of the seats with diamond pattern stitched leather, too. Thoughts? Opinions? My goal is to make the car look as close to an exotic as possible without going too far or making it look gawdy. This will require a careful approach, I know!

I'm glad you recognized that lol. If you're going to go the up-market route, I would use some of the nicer Merc and Audi interiors for inspiration. I just watched this video the other day and these interiors are very very nicely done, and it seems like they're what you're after.

i was actually thinking about redoing the interior of my wrb as well. I would try Automat in Hicksville. I know they're a well known name in the auto upholstery world and they do katzkin leather seats as well

Yes, exactly. I worked for a Porsche/Audi dealer for a year so I was exposed to all of it; hence my inspiration! My last car was a 2012 S4 and it gave me some good ideas. The diamond stitched leather idea came from the new S7.
