Red and loud...just how I like it fellas...
Took the pics in direct sunlight which throws the color off in the pics as Tyteflows pointed out. But the red is a very close match to Torch Red.
Been struggling with this for a while...don't want a red steering wheel and a 2 tone of red & grey would make it look romper room-ish but the black does match the black leather inserts on the seats and the carpet.

Your Quote " Finished the install...what do you guys think?"
Well because you asked... and as everyone knows, I am about as tactlessly honest as there can be..... This is hideous ! You took a beautifully designed American sports car, and turned it into a Ghetto Cruiser.. and to be honest.. the stripper pole comment is right on... But then its your car, and you only have to please yourself... you seemed concerned about how others felt about it, and I didn't see you say, " tell me what I want to hear, or only tell me something positive...If you tell the truth and your opinion negative., don't bother posting... ( But you didn't say that....)
I am almost it tears seeing what you did to this car....

Looks like the chromer did a good job, just don't think I would want all that chrome on the interior of my car.
