03 Interior Problems?

[JonesNTN]

I heard from a guy at work that ordered a 03 'rado Z71 that the only color headliner you can get is tan. Even if you order graphite or black on everything else. If this is correct, it sounds WAY stupid. Has anybody else seen or heard this?

Actually, that's nothing new.  I have a graphite interior and the headliner is a light color.  My '99 had the light gray seats, and the headliner was light color too.  I also noticed this when looking for my 2002.

I understand grey on graphite, but Tan on graphite?? Man that is tacky.

That is tacky but mine is dark graphite with a light gray headliner.  

 

They're probably looking to cut costs anyway they can.  Seeing as though most people aren't looking at their ceilings when driving, the color of their headliner isn't as crucial.  Having only one color saves on manufacturering costs and of course production costs as it's one less thing to have to line up in the J.I.T. build process.

Good greif, Whatever happened to the good old days? I remember when the choices of the interior color were almost as many as the exterior choices. :plainsmile:

Those were the good ol days of excess.

Nothing wrong with a little excess. Thats what make it America!

Those were the days when you could order exactly what you wanted; not what THEY wanted you to have!  Having to have a tan headliner with a graphite interior is STUTPID!  My '01 Silverado extra-cab has a graphite interior with a graphite headliner. JUST LIKE I WANTED!

Both my '99 and '01 LSs' headliners were the same "regular gray" color. Every '03 I have looked at (Sierra and Silverado), are all tan. I think it doesn't make sense either, but what can you do...

Those were the good ol days of excess.

I'm thinking the way 85% of the trucks are used these days, that quote sure doesn't hold true......

tan and graphite is a nasty combo.

actually the new interior colors for 2003 are dark pewter and light pewter and neutral,,,, all the colors ,, even the dark take on a brownish tint,,, which doesnt make the tan headliner look too bad as it would with graphite,,, but still too light for my likings,, even though i have an 03 on order???
