Default Need help choosing interior color for Torch Red Z06

Hello All.

I am putting in my order for a Torch Red Z06 / 3LZ / Z07, and have been waffling between black w/red stitching, and Adrenaline Red interior. They both look fantastic...just not sure if red car with red interior is too much.

I will have black wheels, carbon flash, and exposed carbon fiber roof.

Feedback / votes on color would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would choose black w/red stitching! Especially with the black wheels and your carbon flash & CF roof it will give you a beautiful harmonic contrast.

I would get the black as opposed to the red interior. Red on red is too much..imo

PROMISE YOU! Go with exposed carbon fiber not carbon flash!
I had red interior not for everyone. Someone mentioned black with red stitching nice!! I loved my red interior.

Is it just me, or am I detecting an overwhelming vote for black?!

Black interior, but you REALLY need the exposed Carbon Fiber Aero kit. You don't want that exposed Carbon Fiber roof all alone with Carbon Flash surrounding it. You be miss-matched! Go Carbon Fiber all around. Carbon Flash is just black metallic....what a waste.

Thanks Steven, your feedback is always appreciated. Regardless of the configuration, you know how this car is going to look when finished! Can you say "LaFerrari-gloss"? You know the finish I'm going for.

Consider the two tone red if solid red interior is too much. Some people dig it and some don't, but it looks sharp.


Cheers!

Black w/red stitching. Also get the suede inserts, I have them and I love the feel and look. I have a 15 so red stitching wasn't an option but I have seen it and it looks sweet. IMHO red on red is too much red. Red in black w/red stitch is killer looking. Good luck on the wait, it is painful.

The red interior matches the torch red exterior, it also follows the theme of the red and black of the exterior. I have and it's beautiful.

My last car was like what you are ordering. With the 2016 3LZ, you will get red all the way across the dash, including the pass side. The all black does look good, but is just to dark for me. Most people that saw it, loved it, a few thought it was too much red. Personal preference! I did order the suede inserts on the new car and do like them better, the cooling function does work better with the suede inserts.

I have red with red and its amazing! It only SOUNDS like too much red but with your combination it flows perfectly. Black is what everybody else gets and that's boring...IMO. If you see it in person you will want it. Good luck!

Black with red stitching. Suede inserts are a nice touch too.
