Default New Seats... which color?

After seeing a few yellow Ferrari's at VIR w/ red seats I really like it... but go 50/50 between red, or black w/ yellow harnesses. Any opinions?

Black





Red

Everybody's got BLACK, Be Different.
Also Sit in a car with black seats that has been in the sun all day and you will know why it's a bad choice!!

Red will be harder to keep clean, the black will look better over time.

Brian,
On most of those type seats, the center cushion is removable, implying you could go for a mod red, e.g. black seat with red centers.

I'd go with the black. Never a fan of the red & yellow Hulk Hogan Z06 look.

I'll probably be picking up a set of these for my car in the spring, very interested to hear how you like them.

To those who asked... they're sparco roadsters. They're not a competition seat, but a very advanced street seat. I'm looking for something to hold me in for HPDE's but also comfortable enough to leave it in full time, these should do the trick.

"Santa" has given my an iou for one, and I'll buy the other... just need to go sit in them first.

Thanks for the info on the model. I assume you went this way as opposed to a race seat so it would offer a more convient entrance and exit than a racing seat affords. My wife is looking for something that is easier to get in and out of on a daily basis than the race seat I have in my car. Does seat afford you with power options (slide) or is it manual only?

Thanks
