Needed opinions on cloth seats and door panels.

Hey, I am thinking of chaning my leather to some nice custom cloth. My leather is starting to show some wear, and I really don't like the feel of it either.

Right now my interior is the dark grey color. I have some MBA billet aluminum ***** on order and was wanting to make silver and dark blue my interior accent colors.

I was thinking of doing the bolsters and headrests in a plain grey type of fabric, and doing the inserts of the seats in a blue fabric. I really like the houndstooth interior fabric they did in old camaros, and was wondering if they made something like that now, but maybe with blue and grey checks. I also want my door panels to use this same blue fabric on both where the carpet part is and on vinyl upper part. Now the blue fabric doesn't have to be houndstooth, but it has to be some sort of pattern.

I also want to stitch Z28 into the headrests of my seats. Do you think that it would look better stitched in silver or blue? And I like the design of the 93-96 seats, the way the inserts look better than the 97-02 seats. So can I use the same seat frame and have them refoamed to the 93-96 style?

I don't like the feel, it burns me up in the summer. And the leather in my car wasn't taken care of(didn't rub the leather care on it) until I bought it. Its not horrendous, but the seams are starting to split on both front seats where the side bolsters meet the headrests. And the drivers side bolster has a small tear, along with the bottom of the seat being worn. And the back seats along the top are starting to split at the seams.
