Default mod interior

After seeing some mod red interiors at Carlisle this past weekend I decided I had to have it done to my 99 coupe but of course I'm cheap so didn't want to buy any panels.
Purchased two cans of Torch Red dye from Corvette America for $30.00 and proceeded to have at her.
Just so you guys know the Torch Red from Corvette America was not even close to the correct colour . It dried, I would say, Chevy Orange lol.
I ended up going to NAPA and having two cans mixed up for me, $60.00 that turned out to be the correct colour.

Dye from NAPA was GM Torch Red code 70.
The dye from Corvette America was for 2000-2004 Corvette Torch Red as per their colour chart, but like I said the colour was way off. I ended up using it as a base tho, but I did buy a can of white (not used) if needed for the base.
