Re: 21st series upholstery piping

The upholstery in my 23rd series Custom is original. The piping and windlace and headliner are all very close to the same color (though the headliner is a bit darker), with maroon seat fabric and carpeting. I'd describe the piping/windlace color as grey to light tan. In other words, beige.

Given the choice of a slight color deviation from original and a headliner to windlace/piping mismatch, I think I'd choose the former. From a design standpoint I think it looks better to carry a single highlight color from the headliner around the interior to accentuate the seat/floor color than to have three or four different colors that are close but don't match. My opinion. But I wouldn't anguish over it too much. I don't think the original headliner matched perfectly.

I've attached a couple of pictures.
