Doing interior color change

I'm in the process of changing my interior color to black. I'm thinking of doing a 2 tone door (red vinyl or gray suede) but not sure what color to go with. Here are some photoshoped pictures I did to see which one you guys liked better. I also entertaining the idea of all black but using black suede on the door insert. BTW the car color is going to be red.

Which direction did you go with yor colors? I am in the process os doing the same thing with mine. Did you paint the plastic pieces? What paint did you use?
Where did you get your upholstery materials?
Thanks

Wow. I like them all. Very nice. If have to pick, Ill go with the third, the black with gray inserts and gray carpet t the bottom. But the red on black is very COO cause it will be unique. Lots of people go bright red on black, but the reddish maroon on black is cool to me

oh and BanDButton, I dont think he's used any paint or anything yet, he used Photoshop to better imagine what would look best if he were to do it.

There is a guy a few weeks back that did a color change to black but used concentrated dye instead of paint. It turned out fantastic.
