Kind of off topic (since it has nothing to do with red and yellow), but relevant to several posts in this thread...what's wrong with painted interior exactly?
The carbon fiber weave doesn't match the LWB seats and its just black leather on black carbon fiber on black alcantara and there is no contrast or pop.
I totally agree that yellow switching with red painted interior does NOT work on any level. But with the right colors I think painted interior can look much better than the sea of black. To each their own I guess but this is how I did mine with Carrara White Metallic, red stitching and painted interior:

Painted trim works, I think. Just requires a careful eye, b/c you can get tacky *real* quick.
That white trim looks slick.

I'd say go with red interior stitching and red belts. Skip the painted interior, I'm not a fan personally. I think it cheapens the look of the interior and will kill resale too. PCCB brakes are fine being yellow by themselves.

Thanks for all the replies.
I ended up going with Carmine red, painted interior, and platinum stitching.
I also found out that LWBs are a go and my build starts in January.
Now the wait begins!

I'm looking at speccing my GT4 with carmine red paint and I really like the yellow stitching.
The problem is... I don't know what the heck I'm doing when it comes to matching colors. On one hand yellow and red seem to go well on a Ferrari on the other I could look like the hamburgler driving around in a McDonald's themed car.
Thoughts or opinions?

Keep in mind all the naysayers about Ultraviolet on the GT3RS and now it commands a huge premium.
So just do it if *you* like and don't worry about resale, I'm sure you'll have no trouble unloading when the time comes.

Guards red, painted interior, yellow stitching, belts and steering wheel tic for me.
Not specing the car for the next owner.
Might even get "BIGMAC" for a license plate.
Its an in your face car... the more controversial the better!
Not to mention as of now it will be 1 of 1. That can't hurt resale!
In the end, to each his own... thats why theres chocolate and vanilla!

I usually don't like painted interiors but that is entirely personal preference. Every once in awhile though I see one that just works. But I do not have the vision to be able to configure it myself and be confident the final product would "work" so I just go conservative with known, proven combinations.
