I always liked the 2006 Legacy Spec B's brick red leather interior, with red seats and door cards, otherwise black...



I could see someone doing something like that with Motorsport's leather kits, and re-upholstering the alcantara on the dash and doors, and even perhaps matching it to perforated alcantara in the seat centers.
Now you got my attention... Keep them coming guys...

Ok here is what I am thinking about. Since I plan to reupholster the seats, I prefer to buy another car's leather skins, modify them to fit my seats and buy additional leather hydes to do the rest of the car instead of the suede.

Now the brick is lovely, reminds me with the Orange/Black in my Z. But since you have a lot of space in the dash and doors to replace... it wouldn't look good in the SVX

Subaru/Giugiaro were not stupid when they chose something not too extreme for the suede to cope with the grey dash.

I guess something like light dark silver would match the grey in our SVXi especially on suede level (not just seats)... Still thinking about that color...
