Re: '65 Chevy Bel Air Wagon

I'm having trouble trying to decide whether or not to do a true Highlander style seat with vinyl separating the cloth inserts or with a full cloth insert like the factory Bel Air seat has. I'm leaning toward doing the full cloth insert like the Bel Air seat had. I will be changing the black dash pad to dark green and the carpet will be a aqua/dark green nylon loop.

First pic is a Highlander seat
Second is a factory '65 Bel Air in the Aqua/dark green that my wagon came in.
The rest are the samples I got.

So.... Any thoughts or input on this?
I say go for the Highlander style with the vinyl strip in the middle! (for what that's worth.)

The Bel Air seat has the contrasting aqua panel printed into the cloth insert, so doing the Highlander style seat wouldn't be drastically different visually, but would still be different. (if that makes any sense)
