Myself also. I love the red cargo mat and floor mats. I was hoping the C7 would offer a black with full red interior, like my 2002 was. (carpet and most interior pieces were red. But with the red mats, it is pretty close

I have a real issue here. I purchased my baby almost 3 months ago and a few weeks after getting it I noticed a black stain on the bolster of the drivers seat. I am guessing it may of been something on my pants when I got in to the car. I paid an extra $495 from the dealer as they supposedly before giving me the car, put on a special protectant on my interior and exterior which is part of an appearance protection package. It covers anything that would ruin your interior or exterior for 7 years. I thought it would be well worth the money. I put in a claim to have them get some one out to get rid of the stain, since I tried to remove it myself during cleaning. I used Meguire's leather cleaner and conditioner, Mequire's interior cleaner and then tried Simple Green, all to no avail.
The 1st person that came out told me that he would have to dye the seat and that for a couple of months old car he didn't think that I would be happy with the results so he was going to put in the notes that he is unable to make it to my satisfaction and that the company should either replace the bolster or the seat. He said my car is too nice to try to repair.
The company (Siskin) then sends me an email that they are denying my claim as the tech said that I wore the seat and that wear is not covered on the policy. I responded that the car is only 2 months old so how could it be wear? They agreed that they would reconsider and send another tech from another company out. This guy came out and said the problem is that the dye they use is too pink and I would not be satisfied and he agreed with the 1st tech that it should be replaced. I guess they don't have Adrenaline Red seat dye available.
So now I am waiting to hear back from Siskin as I am sure that they are happy to take your money, but probably don't want to pay to replace it as that is how these companies work. I have attached a picture ( the stain actually looks darker than the picture shows) in case any one has other ideas on how to get rid of it or how to dye it properly. Oh and the 1st tech said that I should of got black seats, but I told him that would be boring as I wanted the cars interior to pop.
Siskin sucks! My wife and I got the protection package a couple of years back on a car that the dealer had done this to. I got it for free as I did not want it and felt that it was a scam...another dealer add on.
Had a similar incident which took almost 6 months to resolve. In our case it was a spill that got through the protective coating and ruined the parchment color seat. Cherry slush with an extra squirt of cherry flavoring...damn that stuff was red. I heard every possible excuse from them and it took the dealer and a couple of nasty letters to get the seat cover replaced. At that time the seat cover was about $600, by the time they replaced it they spent far more than that on inspectors wages, phone calls and postage. And they didn't want to pay for a rental car while we were getting the new upholstery installed.
Just stay on top of them and don't listen to their crap, you will get it done soon. Good luck on the new cover.
I love the looks of the Adrenaline Red interiors, especially when they are matched up with Arctic White. The look really pops. However as someone who has stuck with darker interiors such as black or gray, I'm curious how owners feel about Adrenaline Red after driving in it for a few months or years?
Does the pop where off? My concern is that I will pass the honeymoon stage with the car and grow tired of a red interior. I think it looks great, but I've never owned a car with a red interior, much less a blood red interior like Adrenaline Red.
I love red interiors and would get it if I pick up a used 15-16 Z06.. I would want gray, white, or silver exterior...
Here is a pic of a 08 Ferrari 430 Scuderia I used to own:

Had mine for 1 year and it still pops, not tired of it now, never will be.

Thanks for your story. I thought that is what I have to do. I am not going to let them win on this one. I still haven't heard back from them on this & the dealer will be my next call for sure!

I have the adrenaline red/jet black interior. Just enough of pop and contrast. I love the way it looks... I even put it in a torch red car but did dark transparent top, carbon flash mirrors, back ducts, black hood vent and spoiler. Red color, peppered with carbon flash/black and chrome to provide good contrast and look.
Some may like it, others may not, but isn't that what makes the car and people's different tastes on this forum great!!!
I liked the 2LT Adrenaline Red interior best too, was going to settle for black interior in a 1LT because the red seats perched in a sea of black and gray looked odd, and the 3LT looked like too much red (and too much bread!) The 2LT is juuuust right!
Not I. I love the 3LT, can't get enough red, I wish the complete dash was red. I also added the adrenaline 3 piece mats and when anyone looks inside my car usually they say WOW. OMHO
With the announcement of red shoulder straps/seat belts for 2017, i wonder how many who are ordering Adrenaline Red interiors will choose that option. Or I wonder if the red straps/belts will become standard on the Adrenaline Red interior option?
