If you are going to do it don't do it half ... Go for it all and do it right.

Wheelskins are very high quality. I had them on my 911, albeit solid black (the car was black on black). It does take a while to lace them up, though. Gotta be really patient. I think given your car's color combination the two-tone black and beige will look really nice. The only concern I might have is that the beige might show dirt. They probably have some sort of coating or cleaner for that. Take a pic when you get them installed Martin!

I will let the dealership replace my steering wheel leather. It is wearing and is still under bumper to bumper. All black then. Factory.
