What Do We Know About The Elio Interior Materials/colors?

[Adamant]

I hope we can choose whatever intior color we want, as well as the color of the stitching. So if I get a white Elio but want a red interior, I hope I'm able to do that.

Even if it doesn't come with heated seats, that is something that can be added later; I know, I was doing it 30 years ago, same goes for lumbar supports, I did those also.
As for the side panel colors and material choices I had planned on making and selling those from day one. I've already have some initial patterns and designs sitting and waiting for delivery. And I'm working on doing the side panels with mood lighting also like they do in the Camaros and Mercedes; they're LED strips. Chevy has the Camaro kits for $250 which is outrageous; I know I can do it for a lot less.
As for the dash covers in Wood, and the other materials, I'll leave those to the companies that already do it; there is no way I could ever compete with them, plus I don't have the equipment that I would need for doing them.

Elio plans on offering color matching panels as an option, that's why I'm going to go a step further and offer material covering in whatever you want. If you want snake skin, you can have it, same goes for any other exotic; I think they also plan on an LED rear hatch inner cover; I'll doing something like it but I can't offer the same without getting into trouble.

As for changing the color of probably what will be plastic throughout the rest of the interior, there is a way to change that also; you can dye it or cover it.

Great to know. I'll be looking you up after I get my Elio. Maybe you could start a webpage dedicated to your Eliomobile accessories.

Unless the cabin will be extra cold for some reason, I'm not worried about heated seat. I would, however, love to have cooled seats.

I already have a couple of websites, so changing it to include the Elio stuff is easy; I'm a hosting reseller so getting a website is easy; the wife did custom webpages for 10 years so doing the page is already in the works, I just have to work on a few more "Yes Dear" items to get it finished.

From the looks of the interior panels, there is no stitching; the seats are another story; you can talk to a local upholstery shop and have them do new covers for the seats any way you want; I have no plans on getting into the seats (too much work).

Some interior lights would be helpful both in the cabin and the boot. Loved the small LEDs that lit the console from overhead on my last RX350.

In that case, I'm not worried about stitching. As for the panels though, I'm hoping regardless of the exterior color, I can put whatever interior color I want.

I'm not 100%, but I believe this is the option for an interior light:

Still into punk after all these years??

I'm probably more interested in the interior than the exterior - it's where I'm going to spend the most time with my Elio. Leather seats are terrific, but heat is a must. Ventilation would be nice for the summer months, but that heater is mandatory. It's not just for winter comfort, but I've found that the heated seats on my last two SUV's are wonderfully therapeutic on those long drives after a day of physical labor. My old muscles and bones relish the deep heat of a comfortable, supportive seat cranked all the way to "Broil" - even when the AC is running. I think my last Lexus could actually produce grill marks on my back after 3-4 hours behind the wheel. But then I get home with no residual soreness from my labor. Even a winter commute would be so much nicer with a warm backside too..

I've never owned a vehicle with heated seats, and never thought about it beyond winter use. I really like your use, and I'm keeping that in mind when the time comes! Thanks for the idea!
