Red interiors
I found a white with red interior vette. I never had a red interior before.
Do you guys find the red interior too aggressive or do you get used to it after awhile?

Re: Red interiors (CanadaVette)
I had a 91, White with red interior and it was nice.
it wasnt agressive at all. Red exterior and red interior is a little too much for me,(except on a midyear coupe) and red interior withe yellow exterior (a couple C-5s) is really too much.
in general, red interiors are

Re: Red interiors (CanadaVette)
I felt that the red on red of my 90 was a bit much. When I got the Wet Okole seat covers with red and black it helped. Then I got some black sill protectors and helped even more. There are ways to soften the impact if you want to.

Re: Red interiors (CanadaVette)
IMO red interiour is not tastefull, also my carpets are beginning to look worn and i never actually liked the low quality carpetting or seat leather anyway so I plan to change my red interiour to black. This is my plan once I get money together for this project:
- leave the doorpanels red/black for contrast
- carpet will be black, custom made with nicer stuff
- all red plastic parts in door openings/targa loop coloured to black
- seats: new good quality non glossy black leather with embroidered Corvette-logo, plan is also the to upholster the seat backs with leather.

Re: Red interiors (Aaron71771)
My '95 was red/red, my '93 was red/tan, so I found a red interior on ebay and now both cars are red/red.
Red looks good with any exterior color except for yellow or green.

Re: Red interiors (Mr Mojo)
My '91 is Red/Red. At the time I bought the car, I almost passed it up because of the red interior. Its grown on me since then and I really like it now. Its a matter of personal taste really, don't depend on what everyone else here likes, judge for yourself.

Re: Red interiors (Greg Johnson)
i like the red int, but am more of a fan of the GS/z06 style mod-red interior, so that's what i've kinda done, red door panels, bolsters and some other highlights. all that red carpet is a little much for me in a red car, but in a white or black one i think it is awesome :D

Re: Red interiors (CanadaVette)
My 81 was red on red and I loved it, wouldn't of had it any other way. I liked the red int on the 96 but I already had red so I went for something different. I chose the black, but red is definitely nice.

The first Vette was ONLY available white with red interior.
If it was good enough for Zora it is good enough for anybody :yesnod:

Re: Red interiors (CanadaVette)
My 91 is white with red interior. Love it. Black with red interior is also a nice combination. This is my first red interior car and it has really grown on me. It'll grow on you too.
