Default Door Panel Insert Options

Sup guys

I just installed new interior door panels. Both of my original ones had crushed arms and were light grey, so I switched them out with a newer set that are more of a charcoal color and match my new leather seats, better.

Now I am trying to figure out what color and/or patten material to use to re upholster the door inserts. I like how the red looks, but it seems too common. I want a somewhat sporty and classy look, but haven't seen any fabric at the local store that I like.

What are some colors or materials that you guys would recommend, that would look good with my setup. See pics below.

I like the plaid look. There is another forum that has a whole thread about posting pics of door inserts. Some used plaid, tweed, Simpsons, stars, ect... all kinds of stuff and it all looked good.

This is the LV pattern, that was ewwww'ed at, lol, but I like it. Maybe I'm just ghetto being from Miami.

Here are some examples that I don't think look bad at all. And yes, I like donks and prefer that look over the racer speed look. The first pic is very similar to the Burberry plaid I am looking at.
