Default Which Black/Red Combo Looks Better?

Which of the following patterns do you like? First one or second one? I personally like 2nd one more. You can see more color combinations here on our Corvette C5 page

Ever since we have started doing 2nd style, we are selling more and more of those.

If you have purple I'd like to see that!!!! Nobody ever has purple though so I will expect a big NO on that one. Personally I like the 1st one though.

I have a triple black C5. I've been thinking about ways to add *slight* hints of red to the interior. The first choice would be my pick since the red is more of an accent (assuming the bottom section is mostly/all black). The first choice is still too much red for what I'd be looking for, for my car. The only red I have now on the car, is the calipers.

I like them both but if I had to choose, I'd go with #1

I like version 1 the best by far of the two you posted.
Smuggler85's version and interior is excellent and would be my choice of the three.

I like both and think zeevette may be on to something with the exterior color driving the interior combination.
I think the first interior would look great with the contrasting stitching on the seat pleats the same as on interior number two.

I like both but the bolsters take a lot of wear and tear. They also tend get the most dirty looking and that is why I would vote for black bolsters.

Gotta say; I really like smuggler's covers. Really nice, and having a black Z, I'm jealous.

Thought I'd add; it''s nice to have a vendor thread like this one.

I must say your car looks amazing. That touch of red is killing me man!
