Custom color interior combination (Torch red)

The seat covers on my C4 are beginning to show their age. I am thinking of getting new covers but changing the color scheme a bit.

My car is Artic white with torch red interior. I am thinking of doing red/black seats: bred inner panels and black outer panels with red stitching.

Or maybe even completely black seats with red stitching.

The door panels are OEM black/red combination already:

The OEM interior is also a combination of red/black:

I like the black and red mix myself. I was going to recover my sad red seats but found some decent black ones locally. I'll be stitching the steering wheel with red soon.

Those black seats are looking good in there!
I think its a good idea to have a photoshop of the iterior done before proceeding with the final combination.
I will look into that.

Eventually I might go the 2-tone seat cover route, such as these that are on CorvetteMods site. I have found them on CorvetteMods, MidAmerica, Ecklers to name a couple

You have done a fantastic job IMO with your car's interior. Every time I see it I'm blown away.

Thanks to both of you, AIRFORCEONE and JEFF.
Thats the exact color combination I had in mind, and I think both cars look amazing!
I might still do a Photoshop of the combination, because my car is Artic White exterior color.

This was a Admiral Blue Vert with black interior and I have always loved the Grand Sport style interior with black carpet and red seat and door panels.

Here are pics of mine, it’s off with a new owner now, but will be doing the same to my ‘95 ZR1.
