Default What Interior for Atomic Orange?

I ordered a 2008 C-6 coupe in Atomic Orange with Cashmere interior. Is Cashmere a good choice for the interior? I can still change the interior if need be. Traded in my 2006 C-6 that has 35,000 miles.

I think black goes best with AO.....for me cashmere was also not a good choice because mine gets a lot of driving (and it looks like yours does as well) and dirt/ grime/ wear shows more on cashmere than the ebony....bottom line is that it's personal preference....there's no right or wrong answer....

With AO I think it's a great choice. What about the 2-tone Blk/Cash ?

If you have ever had a very light colored interior, then you know what to expect.......very hard to keep looking new -- especially the carpeting and the outside edges of the seats. I think that the Ebony would be a better choice, but the cashmere and the cashmere/ebony two tone both look good too.....

My parents have 07 AO/Cashmere and I used their car for about a month and every 4 days I was shampooing the floormats to get soiled marks out .

I went with Cashmer/Ebony.... Extremely happy with it, get a lot of compliments. It really brings out the car in my opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide....

I was always a big ebony fan but when I saw this interior combo in person I was very impressed. So much so that I ordered it in my 08. Put black (ebony) mats in and it looks great. No worries about the dirty cashmere mats.

I went with the ebony in my 07/A/O, but lost sleep at night thing about the two tone cashmer, either is a good choice imho.

I have an 07 AO with cashmere and I could not be happier. It is a great color combination, particularly after you add some bling to the interior from some of our sponsoring vendors.

Especially if you have a vert-the black top looks a lot nicer.

If you like tan, you'll like cashmere/Atomic Orange. If you don't like tan, go with ebony.

I ordered my AO with ebony 2LT, love the way it looks with the orange. If I had it to do over I might go with the 2tone ebony/cashmere, only 600 bucks. You could go with red, you would be different for sure.

Atomic orange is one of those colors that I think looks great with either color interior. I personally like the cashmere, but again, the black does look great also. I have to say that I don't care for the two tone interior on the AO. Just my .02. Good luck and congrats on th enew car!!

Personally I think with the AO exterior either an all ebony or the 4LT sienna interior looks the best.

How soiled could the mats be in 3 or 4 days?

And if anyone with 07 AO wants to trade out for 07 VY send me a PM. This one is prime.
