I like just having the seats red...it's a good contrast.

Too many red things in the interior and it just gets crazy.

The only other thing inside my interior that is red are the side arm rests.

Red seats were one of my first mods. It appeals to most people when you sell the car too.

crappy pics, I never can figure out how to take rich looking pics under flourescents - I'll have more high res ones once the car is done





it all ties in nicely, because the steering wheel has red stitching as does the shift ****...inside it looks awesome I think

I cant believe the first few posts ........ people were saying red seats only belong in black or red cars...then I saw a sign of hope when I read the post about audi, porsche S2000 etc. Some of the most exclusive vehicles in the world, and other well respected cars are ALWAYS bright silver with red seats (and of course other color exterior :

Mercedes SLR
Porsche (most models)
audi TT
S2000
Ferrari (only seen red in the silver models)
mercedes benz gullwing
Bmw Z8, M3 etc.


the list goes on, I was just dumbfounded at the lack of knowledge from those few posts claiming only black and red cars can work red interior

Any pics you may have would be appreciated.
The color of the car is the most deciding factor. IMHO black, blue, red & white are the best colors to work with. If you have a color scheme I think it will look good. You could have red accents in the interior,engine bay & red BBk's. I say GO FOR IT!!!!
