Ordering new seats - color opinions needed

After a recent rollover accident my better half ASKED ME to buy new and safer seats for the Bronco. And yes, this is the first ever instance where I've been reluctantly asked to spend money on my Bronco ;D;D;D

So I'm ordering custom seats from PRP. But I'm having a hard time deciding on a color scheme. I want brown in the interior to go with the painted door panels. Obviously I've left behind the "restored look" and have crossed over to the "custom car look".

Not looking to replicate the cream on tan that I currently have. I want to set a mood for the interior. Picture driving along a dirt road chasing jackalopes, the color of whiskey, Oldies playing on the radio, stopping at an abandoned cabin and breaking in to read a book, hoping there's a killer in the basement that chases you through the woods with an ax like in all the best horror films. That's the look I'm going for....

Thoughts? opinions? I've numbered the options 1-5 and added a few photos of my Bronco for color reference.

my pick would be #2, I think the color goes with the door panel design you have, but its really up to you

Personally, I wouldn't buy any of them, but, I choose #2 since those are the options you give. I like the contrast.

Let me clarify.......I really like #2 color-wise.

DO NOT like the style of seats though - just my personal opinion on that, which is why I wouldn't buy them.

I like the color on #5, but prefer the style of the other front seats. If choosing one of the sets I’d go with #4 (the two that match, not the one off to the right). More importantly, which one do you like and think suits your truck best?

I like them all! That's why it's so hard to decide. But as the day progresses I think I'm leaning towards 2....

Not 3 or 4, but I think 1 or 2 would do the trick and look good

I’m sorry but I don’t care for the tweed. Jmho. I just picked this style for mine only instead of the distressed looking sides I’m going with just solid tan leather

This kind of distracted me from the seat color debate.:eek:

yeah anything but 5, looks like a kid's car-seat :) but I imagine would be good for a crawler

That's gorgeous. Love that caramel color!

Exactly! I need a durable fabric that twigs and forest debris will easily brush off. And be possibly stain resistant.

Seat cover in pix no. 8 looks pretty good%):D

My current seat covers are in great condition but you see how my head is sticking up?? Yea, that accident shook me up and I don't think I would have fared as well if I was in my Bronco...hence new seats with head rests and seat belts.

I know it won't look as good as the originals but my Bronco has won a couple of awards already so I think I'm good with it not being a restored show stopper. :cool:
