The red calipers are enough. If you want get red belts as well, but red interior is a bit much. As others have stated . Deviated stitching in red, belts in red, gauges in red, even trim in red but black seats. I don't know.

Nautical theme? Amazing how these trends get so recycled. They run out of ideas, and go back 20-30yrs to find something new. Oh yeah, Docksiders are the rage again. Might be good for the Hamptons.

Fashion has become such a joke these days. Oh yeah, then there's Kayne

My thoughts. Less is more. Classics never get trendy.

Style is always recycled. Updating old trends to today's needs is tricky but when done right - it is a winner.
Classics never get trendy - correct. But tailoring a bold individual style to one's personality is a more exciting option.

Agree. You do know your stuff ...

Why my wardrobe is black, grey, kinda grey, and black. My car .. silver and black interior. Would maybe get a bold color exterior someday, but would be over black leather. Anyway, it's all about being an individual and happy with yourself. These are non issues compared to what else is going on in the world these days and the garbage we see on TV and the idiot net.

When the Kardashians are actually looked up to by young girls, you KNOW we have issues then.

That model would look good in anything, but she doesn't look too happy. Basically, get whatever color combo makes you happy.

It's the blue steel look. They all look like that. They only smile when they get to eat or doing coke.

I gotta say, I am not a member of the fashion police....

I'm just a nerdy accountant CFO type of a dude....

Which is why mine is a Black over Black
...but with GR belts and SC gauge...and its a Targa!! ;-)

But all that said, I would rather climb into this every day....







Than I would this.....





Not trying to offend anybody...but the first one appears sporty and cheerful....where the second one, IMHO, is neither. And the steering wheel is on the wrong side...that would really F me up. ;-)

By the way, who decides the "next trend"??

Someone comes up with something and the others jump on board? Must be more of a collaborative thing among top designers and trickles down??

Against my better judgement I am going to jump into this thread. I have a sapphire blue turbo cab with black/platinum interior. Get a ton of positive comments on the color combo. The black/platinum is no longer available. However you could do a black interior with deviated grey centers for the seats, deviated grey carpet, and some deviated grey stichting. Maybe the dash and upper door panels. That wouldn't been too expensive and might be a little less risky than black and red yet provide some interest.

Jumping in as a SBM owner......the "Superman" is a bit much. I opted for a few red accents. I ordered red belts.....I changed the pull straps to red after delivery, and I have mats coming with red lettering along with my Black / Carbon interior........Phil

That sounds classy. I could even see some black/red Coco Mats in there to add a bit of pizzazz!!

Important however, go with black wheels, and no yellow calipers (red only) or colored crests on wheels.





period press hat and Clark Kent horn- rimmed glasses were ordered from " Exclusive " :




and of course , a touch of yellow surrounded by red was mandatory in this pkg :

I agree. I'm not understanding how people can say these cars are not classy. Do those with this opinion find this to be a vulgar choice?
