MSG contrast color help...opinions needed please!
I have an '03 Metallic Sprial Gray vette with black interior. One of the biggest problems i've run into is customizing the interior colors, as well as the calipers and front and back "Corvette" inserts.
This weekend I went to Vettefest in Rosemont, IL to look for some ideas. My girlfriend and I thought that Yellow would be a cool color to do for accenting the interior as well as for the calipers and letter inserts.
What color would you chose?

SGM is a classy color don't offset it with yellow. Stick to the basics ; black,stainless, or carbon fiber(
) I believe that many owners put too much (bling) and takes away from a beautiful car.

MSG (medium spiral gray) is a very subtle color. I went with a gray and black theme. Maybe not for you, but here are some pics.

A bright orange would accent Spiral Grey very nicely.

Haven't done it myself, but from what I've seen you can't go wrong with a red like torch red. I've seen a few MSGs that came from the factory with the torch red interior and it's a great looking combo.

Torch red accents on MSG would look awesome. I know red has been done to death, but it's hard to go wrong with a proven color.

Undoubtedly, MSG vehicles mostly have black interiors. Therefore, a subtle use of Torch Red would be stunning within the cockpit of a Corvette C5, vs., a lighter shade of Grey, OR, do both (light Grey and Torch Red)! Go for it! And, do let us know what you decide!
