I asked a similar question when I got my Lloyds floormats - should I get a red outline on the floormat or what - the responses, and what I did was get Lloyds mats w/ the SILVER outline -

You might want to do a silver or grey insert in your seats because unless you get a burgandy that CLOSELY matches the mag red II color, the contrasting red colors will clash

Click here to see VE Mag Red Leather trim.

Mine was done 3 years ago and was the first time VE used the Mag Red leather. Up till then they couldn't find a good match for Mag Red.

You do have to be careful choosing the color. It's hard to find something that does not clash with Mag Red.

Kind of ties everything together. Especially if she came from the factory with an oak interior.

Thanks guys. I hadn't thought of silver. That might work with the rims I have.

beautiful interior! The factory installed tan seats in my mag red vert pale by comparison. Have you found any good matching paint for your brake caliper housing yet?

Thanks....

Powder coated calipers are my next mod. I plan to use www.thepowdercoater.com. Mike knows the best color(s) to use with mag red and he is local to me.

The candy apple red over the counter paints seem to match pretty well. Maybe someone else can recommend a specific color/brand. I've also consider high gloss black as a contrast. Mag red is a hard color to "play off of".

Looks Great.

I have the red metal piece between the seats on my convertible. I'd like to do it like this picture but also have the dash bezel (surrounding radio) painted magnetic red to match that rear piece.

Anyone ever see something like that?

Awesome!

I'd need the trim pieces touching the dash, radio, and under center compartment.

How did you get it looking so nice? Any links to where to get them?

I didnt plan on changing seats, shiftboot, or steeling wheel until later on.

I'm jealous! you even have a matching corvette bag and fancy **** for that suspension gismo!
