I think you were on the right track w/ red, it looks awesome with sliver, go with two tone red seats

I'd be the first to agree that red and black go well with silver. But I had a Lt. Gray interior. When I decided to go the full Vette Essentials route - I decided to make the whole interior grey with black accents, and a few stainless steel accents thrown in for good measure (like the button on top of the shifter, aluminum pedals from Elite Engineering, the gauge bezels and the airbag letters and steering wheel decal from Cyberdyne Graphics in silver).

I think you should change your accent color away from red - my opinion (and I think that's what your asking for is opinions)three colors is too much.

These pics were before I added the air bag letters and the steering wheel decal....
