I can tell you what I think
It's too bright for my eyes. That one picture posted of the interior looks like somebody was murdered. It reminded me of Pulp Fiction, when Vincent shot (i forget his name atm) in the face in the back seat.

Nope

You wanted opinions. IMHO it's a no go.

Go for it. The red is a very deluxe look with the black, I thought the carpet was a bit too orange in mine.

Not sure why you care what others think, as it's a very personal opinion.

Personally, I've never understood the red interior. Looks horrible. But that's just my opinion. You should do whatever makes you happy. In the end, that's all that matters (until you try and sell the car that is).

+1 for no red interior (complete or otherwise). occassionally it can look good at first (only if the right tone and used sparingly), but in my experience, it never looks good after the sun has it's way with it for a few years---regardless of how much 303 you slather on it. And red is actually my favorite color! 7 of the 10 cars I've owned have been red (only on the outside).

I think you basically got your answer. some people like it, some people don't. I'm not sure what you were expecting. My guess is if you asked opinions on an all black or all tan interior (most common available) you would even still get dissention among the ranks.

For that reason, I rarely seek input from others regarding cosmetics (color, add ons etc..). it's pointless. But opinions on options---that's a different story--those can be of great value as they can tell you if there are mechanical or performance issues to be aware of.

Just my $0.02

Tricky

I always wanted silver and red, if you look at perfect laps' car, that is a stunning example to me of the red interior at its best...

however, in most show room experiences, the red interior doesn't work for me...

Great response. I did what I said I wanted to do. The dash and the door panels with black bottoms. I is in the car now but not fully bolted up. I think you will all like the results. I think it looks great.
