Glad to help! Like I said, mine is a 2010, but I'm pretty sure everything inside is exactly the same in the 2011's. Luckily my car was on the lot as is and it was exactly what I wanted. There was no guessing on how it looked, I fell in love instantly

What color exterior are you getting?

Red Jewel Tintcoat, in honor of my first [and second] Camaro. My 79 and my 85 were damn near the same color as the RJT.

Nice! My heart was set on white, but RJT was my 2nd choice. The beige will look awesome with the RJT.

Ditto that for me. I've got the Beige interior, I ordered it that way, and both the dash and seat material match. I've had no problems with either one so far.

Just ordered my 2011 today! IBM/Beige 1LT... I like the two-tone look of the beige. I agree that the seats are a bit light, but i'm putting seat covers on them anyway. I prefer the black roof, carpet, and A pillars, but the black interior seemed a little dark. Gray was way too bland. Beige is a great balance.

Love Michelles' choice in colors for her ride. The Ruby Red with the Beige seat areas was also my second choice.

Ok, I'm a bit confused on whether there is the possibilty there are two options for interior door panel and dash trim colors whenever the seats are two toned in Charcoal and Beige. Michelles' pic's seem to show that her door and dash pieces are actually platinum colored and her seat inserts are the lighter Beige. Her ride in those pic's seems to be exactly the same as mine in color combo's.

Tallboys' reply to those were.................

Am I correct in this assumption?

The pic's enclosed are of my door and dash areas and depending on the amount of light on those subject areas seem to be lighter than they actually are..............both are platinum and not beige.

Does anyone actually have those pieces in Beige in their cars......curious. I'll assume, that is what Tallboy wants. Thanks

I would say the door panels & dash trim are more like a Champagne color, I think they match the seats very well. The beige on the seats look very light in pictures. Here's a good pic of my door panel....

I agree wholeheartedly Michelle.................Loving the color combo, and in fact have immediate plans to sport stripe Casper in the same two tone Champagne & Beige combo, with Black accent pin Stripes. The Graphic folks are detailing those materials and arrangements as I type.

Casper-my concerns were twofold...

1. That my beige interior wouldn't have the dash trim pieces.
2. If it did, they wouldn't match with the doors.

Both have been alleviated thanks to you guys!

I have had Beige/Tan interior in a TA, Ram, and a Yukon. If you wear a dark color leather belt sooner or later it will discolor your seat.

DO NOT ever get in your car with a wet belt... Sounds like a WTF? I know but you will eventually get caught in a rain storm and have to get in your car wet. Take off your belt or keep a towel to put across your seat.

Notice that most of the discoloration occurs right where your belt falls on the seat.

Anyone with light color interior needs to know this.

Let me know if you need more info.

Hi Michelle. I looked at the forum on the day you posted getting your SW LT and said " There's my car!". Actually it's the car I'm buying my wife to replace her 2000 Mustang GT. She was pushing hard for silver but I kept saying white and beige over and over and she finally agreed. It should arrive near the end of August. Thanks for helping me get my point across.

Nice! If I were to do stripes, I would have to say I'd choose the Champagne also. At first I liked the Silver stripes, but came to realize that the Beige color would match much better. Awesome choice. Post pics when you get this done too!

Good to know! I don't wear belts, but my BF does. I'll have to let him know. My stains/dirtiness comes from my jeans I suppose. My butt slides across that hump when getting in & out of the car.

Good choice I absolutely love my car combo, very classy & clean. Make sure you post pics when she gets it! And Kudos to you for getting it for her

I too fell in love with the combo White 2SS/RS with Beige interior, it was love at the first sight. I've had it since February but with only 2.6k miles. I've had several good comments about my two tone interior and I too agree that this setup gives a great balance to the interior of the car.

As extra clarification, the panel color is identical. All you see is the difference in lighting from the photos
