Default Going to buy caravaggio race seats, and want opinions on what color to get

So I am about to order the caravaggio seats.... I have a red z06 with black and mod red interior. I have full leather interior (dash, a pillars, door panels, radio surround, and console). It is black with red stitching and the mod red all around the bottom. the carpet is black, and currently I have C6 black seats. My question is, do I get black leather seats with red stitching or can I get full mod red seats i want the full red but idk if it will look ok.

I personally think it would look great. There are pics somewhere of Andy Wheelers old Z06. It has the red seats with your color combo.
I will try to find one to post.

Imo, full red would be way too much red. Maybe a black seat with a red centre? My brother used to sport Recaro's, black with red stitching, I liked it.

gosh, how I love the red. For me red is just so sexy. Def more of an exotic look, and hey, even if it is too much, exotic is suppposed to look ridiculous haha

I have the Firethorn interior and decided to go with black inserts when I ordered my Caravaggio seats. Personally, I think all red might be a little too much.

yea i know. more ppl are telling me to do the red center than anything else. Some reason I just have all red stuck in my head. Im afraid to make the decision. it would be an expensive mistake

If it were me I would not go "solid" red and would work in at least some black accents somewhere, but all red would not be a disaster. Some black panels on the seat with matching red stitching would tie it in with your other components.
