I would never have the guts to choose that color combo - but it looks terrific!

The only problem I see is that you need some more red in the interior(door panels maybe) to tie things together better with the seats.

I like it, maybe you can do some custom mats with a little bit of red in them? I agree with the previous post, you need a little more red in there somewhere to finish it.

I agree with the others that have noted the interior now needs a splash of red somewhere else to balance it out, otherwise it looks good.

Just toss an open red paint can in the interior and let it dry.

Striking! Very nice. It harkens back to classic interior colors.

I love little red inside! What's to hate? I've got red belts on the way, red center console lid and red stitched TechArt steering wheel coming...oh yeah and red trim/letter mats!

When you first explained what you were going to do I thought it would look a mess but now looking at the pictures I think it looks really nice.The carrera s embossed in the seats is a great finishing touch

The car looks great! I don't personally care for chrome wheels (I actually don't care for a lot of chrome in general), but in your case it really helps pull the black/red/chrome concept together. Like everyone else, I agree you need some more red splashes in the interior. Maybe black mats with red leather trip, red door inserts, and the dash components that get swapped out for the basic $800 carbon fiber package.

Default thanks everyone for being there every step of the way

I appreciate the input.

I will indeed do the door pull surround in red as the "splash" thats missing.
