Styling advice needed on reupholstering

This is a continuation of the post 91 volvo 240 remodeling see http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=71841 for the details.

I've started on the front seats and need to decide how to have the back of the seats look.

The back of the seat looks like this

The front will be the green with the black stripe up the middle, now I checked and it clearly looks like I have enough leather to make the back of the front seats matching green, origionally I thought I should make them the black fabric due to a lack of leather. A third option is to have the stripe continue down the back. Need thoughts and opinions before I start cutting.

I'm looking for donations on black door panels and carpeting, I can pay shipping but that's probably it for the moment so if you're tossing a car and the contents send them my way.

I say leather backed makes it look more oem. Need to go blue or back with the carpet too. Congrats on the work so far though.

Vinyl paint in a can works wonders on carpet and door panels...

damn dude, every thought about doing a group buy? you could make some $$$

Ive reupholstered my old 68 mustang seats and it was easy since i got premade "skins" and jsut hog-ringed them on. If you did this it would be fairly simple for anyone to install using hog rings and hog ring pliers.

I would do cloth backs, cloth absorbs sound better, and one of my main goals for my car is to go on a exteraneous sound inquisition, so even little bits like cloth seat backs help :)
