Default Red Interiors

Interested in the number and variety of red interiors we all have.

Probably should have added a few catagorys for owner installed also.

When I had my '00 coupe, it came from the factory with an all black interior. I wanted some color in there, so I went with a mod red theme. Sure made one heck of a difference in the way the car looked. Here's a pic:

My '02 Coupe has the Torch Red interior & I really like it. I've added even more red accents including door pulls, grab bar, steering wheel wrap, armrests covers, console cover and a partition. I'm hoping to add torch red sunvisors too.

I think a Torch Red Interior matched with a Torch Red Exterior is red overload. I like the Mod Red which maintains the black carpet/plastic trim much better and provides enough contrast.

Good looking car. Personally i like the mod red interior in all the color z06's except yellow. Yellow makes it look too much like a mcdonalds car.

That looks great! I would have loved to have found my MSG vert with that interior option back in 2004.

I would vote if there were a "color other than red" choice.

That is in fact the "money shot."

I'm not a fan of the Mod Red interior, but Toque did this just right for me by only changing out the door panels, glove box, and knee panel. The Mod Red seats are just over the top IMHO.

Personal opinion: red interiors look best on white/silver/black Corvettes.

2003 MSG 6spd coupe with torch red interior. Only 2086 made this way. I have since added APSIS seats and two tone console cover.
