Default Black/Gray Interior

I'm looking at changing the black/mod red interior on my 2004 Z as the mod red just doesn't do it for me on the door panels and lower dash. I don't mind the black/mod red seats, but I'm considering going to seats that are a combination of black/gray.

Does anyone have black seats with gray inserts? Something like below but with gray replacing the red?

Any other combinations of black and gray are also welcome!

Does anyone have black and gray seats or a black and gray interior on their c5?
I have a Black/Silver themed interior, close to gray but, if you want to look in my albums feel free or I can post in your thread if your interested.

I took out the mod red seats and replaced them with black C6 seats. But I left the red on the dash and doors alone. I like the way this looks. Still have some red buy not too much. Too much red just screams tacky to me. But everyone has their own opinions of what their car should look like.

Much better, I feel the same seeing red on everything looks like a kid got ahold of it.
Grey inserts would look nice, hit up an upholstery shop.

I agree. I thought about going this route too. Im also thinking about going to black interior with black seats with gray inserts. I feel like that would modernize the car and also be unique from what many c5 interiors have.

I REALLY like the contrast stitching. Its a way to introduce color without it being "in your face".

As a side question, how do you like the c6 seats? Were you able to maintain power function on the driver seat?

Yeah. I may do that or try to get a pair of c6 seats that are black and gray.

The C6 seats are much more comfortable. They are more supportive and better bolsters. The power was easy. I bought the adapter from vetteworks and was pretty much plug and play. Only option I lost over the C5 seats was memory but I nevee used it anyway.
