Default Interior mod help

I am thinking about ways to dress up my interior. I have a mag red with black interior. Was thinking along the lines of black and grey two tone. Any ideas? any pics of what some others have done with mag and black? Thanks. Also I just wanted to praise this forum I am a pretty new member, and I have to say My faith in mankind has been restored. I live in the tri state area most people here don't even say hello let alone give you the time of day to share some knowledge. Thanks for everything you guys and gals Rock!
Matt

I think you should trade me your black door panels and various trim pieces for my light oak pieces... then you'd have an oak streak running round the lower third of your interior... Keep your black seats and black carpet, and the oak would be a subtle but rich accent. (Actually, I'd consider parting with the seat covers, too, since I already have black replacements to put in.) And all at no cost, because we'd just trade.

And honestly, I think oak would look better then grey.

If I had a mag red car with a black interior - I would go to Vette Essentials and have them make me back seats with mag red trim. I've seen that combination in person and it is absolutely stunning!

I've tried to stay subtle

Predominantly black but with darker maroon leather trim and maroon stiching on my new leather console
