Sounds like an idea, Im not sure about the price however.... One member dyed the mod red areas with yellow. It looked nice.

There was a guy just a couple of weeks ago who posted pics of his mod red interior on his MY Z06. It is definitely "different." Just because GM produced some that way doesn't mean it is aesthetically appealing.

REALLY-speaking of that-remember the 98 with the Navy Blue and Yellow (and the YELLOW WAGON WHEELS)

I thought GM had a "non recommended" color option that had to go through a couple extra approval levels before the option could be ordered. I think the red/yellow combo was one of them.

Mod red interior, & body side moldings are the two options that I did not want when I was looking for my new 03 Z.

Man what a conservative crowd today. MY and TR combo goes way way to 1935 in a Duesenberg. It even had 400HP back then.

My TRZ had mod upon mod and loved it. Even my 63 swc way back when had British racing green over red

Yes, and I've seen it. I thought it looked decent, but I wouldn't be brave enough to buy it. However, I think the MY with Oak is very nice, and I prefer it over a black interior by a long shot.
