Default Red seats with a black interior? Looking for opinions.

I am going to swap out my stock black cloth seats soon and I am having trouble deciding on the color I want to get. Originally I *thought* that I wanted to just get black but, after seeing a pic of red seats with the black interior, it got me thinking. What is your opinion on red seats with a black interior? Any pics you may have would be appreciated.

what color is your car?...redline?...if it is, do it...if not, i think your should at least get mostly black seats...a little red is cool, but all red won't work unless its a red car

I'm not a fan of red seats in any car, but leemik's car looks good with that combo.

The car is super black. Here is the pic that got me thinking. It is kinda hard to tell from just pics which is why I started the poll.

It will make for a nice, color co-ordinated contrast. If the car was any color other than black or red, I'd say forget it.

I agree with the comment above. If your car isn't a redline, your interior won't match well with the car. Seats fill 90% of the interior in the Z, so having all of that be red won't look right.

I always though b-units interior was hot and he had a CS w/ red seats.

So I say go for it...you can always get them reupholstered if you dont like it.

I happen to think red on black interiors look good, but I am biased:

I think it can look very good depending on the seats. Both of the above pictures look good IMO

I guess folks who designed Porsches, Aston Martins, M3's and Honda S2000's think otherwise.


But I do agree with Lilzgirl,
It really depends on what kind of seats. I think the stock Z seats look good in red.

Here is just one:

And yes, the red/black combo is the second best.......first being BO and black.

The problem I see with alot of guys is they start buying "cool" stuff for their car and don't try to look at the finished product. I picked out a theme for my UY. I have THREE colors I am working with: Black, Yellow & silver. I stick to those colors when choosing what to put on the car. Secondly I had a vison of what I wanted the car to look like. I was going for a Euro GTlook. Therefore I probably won't get a wing, no F-1 mirrors (they do look nice though), etc. Once you have a style & colr theme picked out it gets much simpler. Will you see stuff you WANT to add that doesn't fit your theme??? Heck yea...but then just restrain yourself and move on. The black w/ red seats WILL look hot. If you go that way just take your time choosing other components.....and have FUN!!!
