Polar Beige Interior

I think I'm liking the looks of the Polar Beige leather seats with the Polar Beige color line. Here's a pic of a car I found avail on dealer lot. It's Gray exterior.

What do you think? Is it too "pimp-tacular"?

It is pretty "pimped" out. Add some 18" wheels and.......well, I think ya know what I'm sayin. Actually I have seen the Polar Beige in person and it looks sharp, but I'd be afraid it would get dingy / dirty looking fast. On another note, I do have the striped aluminum dash and door trim and like it quite a bit. Best of luck with our decision making - there are so many choices.

I'd have to agree with Highlander and say I'd be afraid that it wouldn't be Polar White for long. You know what snow looks like the day after the storm with the specks of black and gray tinge?? That is what I think my interior would end up looking like if I went that route.

I have the polar beige seats, but not the beige color line. I really like the lightness the seats bring to the interior. As a few mentioned, I was worried about keeping them clean, but in the end the look won out So far no problem keeping it clean. Although I've only owned my MCS for 4 months, so I can't say how they will hold up.

I have the polar beige seats as well as the door inserts. I love the way it looks, and the seats haven't been bad to keep clean so far. It's only been a couple of months, but it's been through several snow and rainstorms.

Old thread, but if you want to look we did polar beige with our CM, check my picasa link for pictures.

We like it, a nice touch of class and comfort.

Looks good, but white seats are a major PITA. My other car has white leather seats, and it's a constant effort to keep them white.

Polar beige is beautiful in person, unfortunately I couldn't afford that option. However I highly recommend them!

That is an example of a perfectly-ordered Polar Beige interior. Polor Beige seats, Polar Beige Color line (or Carbon Black color line would work), black door cards (Polar Beige door cards are too damn much), Anthracite headliner.

I'm not wild on the silver, I prefer Piano black.

I just got to give the CM a good cleaning on Saturday. The seats still look great, and I'm not one to constantly clean things either.

I've had my car w/ polar Beige seats since mid-December, and they are still holding up really well. No trouble keeping them clean, even w/ 2 teenage boys riding in the car.....
