Default Which color interior would you match with orange?

I like the Daytona orange, but really don't want a black interior. Which interior would you choose?

I have a DSOM vert, but I chose black. My 2nd choice would have been Brownstone. Kalahari would be out for me, but everyone has different preferences. Search the forums. There are pictures of all 3 interiors.

I'd go with black because I don't care for any shade of brown (e.g. Brownstone or Kalahari) in a car interior. I've really tried to like them but I just can't get there. It's not that they don't work with DSOM because they do; I just don't like browns.

On the flip side, DSOM with black interior, Carbon Flash badging and hood stinger, and machine-faced wheels would be drop dead gorgeous.

I like the new DSOM I hate to say it. But, add black wheels, mirrors, spoiler, black fish, black bar on the grill. And, you would have a major winner.

Getting DSOM Z06 with black interior. My original choice was kalahari until I saw the two together. I would do anything to get the Brownstone interior...anything short of the 3LZ price just for seat color that is. Chevy would have made things so much better not forcing price upgrades through bad color matching. DSOM with red brake calipers is another example.

I would stay stick with black. I think the brownstone color is not attractive. Kalahari is my second choice for that color.

It would be in your best interest to see each color combination in person, if possible. Relying on our opinions is a matter of our personal tastes and could be a regretful mistake. We could sway you one way or the other and you could totally be unhappy with your final decision if you have personally not seen that particular combo. Buy what makes YOU happy. Good luck!

Black is an obvious choice, but brownstone could be a possibility.

I asked this exact same question back in September when I order my 3LT Z51 DSOM Coupe. The overwhelming response was to go with the black interior. However, I saw a Premier Edition LRG with the Brownstone/Suede interior and decided that it would look great with the new DSOM. I'm glad I ordered it. It looks rich and is the only color that has the suede on the console, dash and doors and it adds a nice contrast.

It is a huge dissappointment you have to go with 3LZ for this option.

If you don't want black. Brownstone would be the only other choice IMO (that looks like it belongs).

I got my DSOM with Brownstone just like post #15 it makes for a quality interior. Black is too common and personally feel it outdated, but to each his own and each person has to live with their choices.
