Has anyone installed brown leather upholstery?

[NWFRS]

I'm looking to do brown or tan leather upholstery next. I've never had this done before so I have a few concerns. Firstly I'm concerned about all the red stitching clashing with brown. Secondly, If I want my arm rests and window sills done in exactly the same shade, will I be forced to go with a custom upholsterer? I'm thinking the cost-effective option is dealer-installed CatSkinz, but that won't get me the matching door leather that I want. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. :-)

Edit: I pulled the trigger. Absolutely beautiful IMHO.

Of all the colors made my favorite interior on any car is saddle tan. I don't know of any leather upholstery supplier that includes all the additional trim you would need to completely change out the interior. When you consider the interior side trim needed along with the carpeting I would consider the cost prohibitive. To me just changing out the seat colors would look lousy and if you can, do as I've done and learn to enjoy it the way it comes from the factory. I tell myself if and when I ever get my Cayman I'll have my saddle trim again. That's what I had in my last Miata.

Hahaha. You're totally right, Whaap, but my mind was made up before I bought my car, I just need to figure out how to make it work. My first cars were early seventies Celica coupes, so I've been waiting around fifteen years for a sporty Toyota. I wouldn't want to perform the maintenance on a modern European car, but yeah, I love those two-tone Black and Tan interiors. Love the Z4 coupe interior especially. I'm probably going to have the work done around Christmas time. Has anyone tried dying their red stitches black? Another option might be to have the brown leather stitched with red. Any advice is welcome! :-)

Canada seat skinz was who i was going to use. And to get rid of the red just restitch the red with color matched thread or simple black.

Not quite feeling it. It's close but it still feels dis-jointed from the rest of the interior. Maybe a bit more to tie it in?

speaker pads and inner knee pads don't match

Just for the record that is subaru's sport pack concept showcased at TAS this year, not mine at all.

Give a holler to JPM custom works. They have a method for the door inserts, both the arm rest, and the upper sill, as well as everything else in the car.

A big factor is the LED colour on the dash......change that to make the whole thing more thematic

I'm looking at doing something very similar to this, though likely a lighter tan.
The Mazda3 manages a light interior with black everything else:

but like you, and like my brother-in-law (who did up a number of pics for me, I'll try to get permission to forward them), we're all worried about the red stitching
