Default Silver Car - Red Accents

Trying to figure out what else needs to be red or carbon fiber to make the interior look complete. I have black recaro seats with red seat belts, but haven't installed yet. Stumped. Any thoughts?

any thoughts on red wheels? I've looked all over for a photo of an Arctic Silver P-Car with red wheels but no luck.

Other thoughts on exterior red accents?

Since I've got a silver car, I've also considered this but never did anything but thought about red calipers.

Maybe red mirrors or just splurge and put a big red Flying Lizard on the side, ha.

Re-stitch the leather with red thread.

Like the red accents a lot.

Um, you might consider updating your pedals. lol. Although I do think the brown dirt accents the black pedals lol

Complete the transformation. Just sayin'

Somone makes some nice black pedals w/ red accents, that I've seen.

I also vote for the red center console. Then CF the shifter, brake, and around the radio, batwing, etc.

Right--a little touch of red. Nice pedals, too.

Here is the product LINK

^^^ +1!!! ... My rule of thumb for color matched interiors is that you should only do ONE big item, & maybe two little ones. For example the center console (big item), & then maybe the little batwing, & the key surround. That way it looks factory... Especially since in your other thread you say you're going for the "GT3RS look"

Too much colored bits (like you've already done) results in more of the Civic "RS" look rather than the Porsche RS look. Kind of like this Civic with a GTR badge which I took a pic of last time I was in Mexico, & by the way, he had all kinds of blue bits in his interiors like gauges & stuff too, hahaha:
