We chose the white faced look because all of the seat plastics were already mastered in Dark Slate. It is new tooling to create the Pearl leather face, and would have been more to add in the airbag testing, (SAB test). It would cost HUGE money. It would also add more time to master Pearl plastic, put the CN's through and pay for the tooling, upgrade the ass'y line, and add more complexity..essentially on my hunch.
When I proposed the "faced look", I looked at the Camaro, Mustang, Passat CC, Audi, Mustang, Corvette and a few others all of which handsomely execute the faced seats.
This was MY GAMBLE...
I had to convince the team that they could build a pearl Challenger interior and sell cars. believe it or not, I was nearly laughed out of the room.
Somehow I managed to convince my boss it was the right thing to do.
Trust is a REAL good thing, and i am building it more every day. (Love my Challenger team.) The Challenger team gets it more with each buzz model.
Just wait till you see what's coming~!
