Default Guards red and Bordeaux red

Has anyone done this color combination? Or Carmine red plus Bordeaux.
I am a huge fan of all Bordeaux red interior. Cannot decide the exterior and highly prefer lighter color such as GR and RY. I'm in early 30s if that matters.
Worried GR + Bordeaux would be too much red.

It seems like it's been done. There was a thread discussing it here that has a few pictures.

Thanks for the link Macey. I wouldn't hesitate if I go with black/Bordeaux, but since I really like red steering wheel, my color combination has virtually no contrast. Maybe I can be the first one to do entire red

You're thinking all-in then? Seats, wheel, dash, doors... All Bordeaux? Definitely bold and what has to be a 1 of not very many!

This is similar to my config. Carmine exterior and Graphite with Bordeaux seat centers. I think it's a nice contrasting combination. Hot/cold, yin/yang, red/blue. I did find the all Bordeaux interior a little too red for my taste, and while I loved the Bordeaux/Chalk combination of the Exclusive Manufakture intriguing, I was concerned with ware marks on the Chalk leather and the red flooring was too much, well, you really do need the pole. HAH. Again, that's just my taste, I'd still love to see Carmine + Bordeaux up close.

I will say there are some pics in the show us your 992 threads I think that the 3 best colors for the bordeaux/black interior are chalk, white, or agate grey. I think a chalk over bordeaux/black will look amazing. Either with the spyder, the classic, or the exclusive wheels w accents painted in satin black.

The Carmine with graphite/Bordeaux interior is stunning. I would much prefer this to GR or Carmine with full bordeaux interior. I would think it’s too much of not the same color red. I loved my Guards Red 911 but it had black interior.
I do like the 2 tone interiors, my TTS is espresso/cognac with GT Silver outside.

I almost decided to get RY over GR. Then this pic brought back the debate. Ahh.
