How close is the tan FD leather to a creme stock FB body?

Okay, not to be a dick, but has anyone actually seen (not "i think", or "looks like it might" crap) tan FD leather near or in close proximity to a creme FB?

Reason why i am asking is because i know a guy that is selling tan leather FD seats and i need to know if they are gonna match or clash horribly with my creme colored FB.

FWIW my FB has the factory creme color and it can be seen in my sig. If the color matched i think it would be very cool, however if it doesnt...

I know there is some rotorhead out there that knows.

Thanks!

Post pics of your interior, and we will post pics of Tan FD interiors.

FWIW, I think it's pretty close to the tan FB's (Not the Browns)

Holy cow, i am not trying to be a dick, but i have pics of my car and tan leather FD's. You do understand that different cameras, flash and lighting will have effects that will distort the true color of subjects in pictures.

Therefore i still need someone who has seen both close to each other, and there take on it. I am not looking to match up pictures...

I agree with you.. all the pics of my car that the seller sent me make it look like it had red seats. When the car arrived how I couldn't believe they're like saddlewood dark brown! A camera, especially with poor lighting and/or a flash can be very deceiving.

Sorry Mike. I was confused with your question.
The pictures above are very close to the real thing.

Your car = CREAM.
FD Seats = TAN.

I have seen both colors and they are different. They are NOT the same color. That being said, it doesn't mean they would look bad in your car (especially with a brown interior). It would probably look pretty pimp.

Faded FD Tan seats, look lighter too, although usually have more wear marks.

Why don't you try photochopping a few pics to see if you like the combo?
