Red.

I have the gray interior on my car and it's a bit boring. Wish I had red.

The big question - can you swim in a stitching pool?

I was hoping this was going to be some sort of knitting club.

Silver paint color needs as much help as it can get....along with white. So red would work better...IMO. If I were going Silver I would get the Spyder Classic interior. Such a great combo!

My 718 spyder is coming soon and i have just a few days left to decide if silver stitching and silver belts or going full red.
I am opting for red, I am just worried to overdone and get bored after a while.
Obviously with CF trim all inside and carbon bucket seats.

Since you're going with GT Silver, which is a neutral color and red calipers, I say get all of the interior bits in red except the trim. Maybe get those in carbon fiber or one of the other dark options such as dark aluminum or even leather. Go bold on the interior since the exterior will be tame. Get red seatbelts, red stitching, red gauges, and red chrono. IMO, that will give your interior a really nice pop without being too overdone. I'm personally not a fan of getting painted interior trim but no disrespect to those that did. It's just my personal opinion.

Silver - Lighter stands out. Have Lizard Green in my Spyder and Bordeaux Red in my 911. Barely notice the (admittedly darker) red.

Hell I went Shark Blue and yellow interior stuff. I know where you are coing from. But I do not think red on Silver will be overdone. And like someone said above, I think you would regret it if you went silver trim on the inside. Go red!!! I am not a silver fan. I am not a red interior fan. But those two need each other and work very well together!....especially on a Porsche!

Definitely red. I have Chalk with red stitching, seat belts and chrono clock. Just enough color to make the interior interesting, but not overdone, in my opinion.
