Default Mini Mods for interior
I just traded my 2014 White/Red C7 for a 2015 Red/Black Coupe. I thought the interior was a little too dark being all black so I made these changes, especially since you could visually see the Torch Red color on the hood and fenders from the driver's seat, so...

Transferred my Apsis flat top and bottom steering wheel with suede/Red to the new car. The suede matches the suede on the seating surfaces.
Added the black floor mats with red trim.
Switched the center console armrest lid and left side trim piece to Red.

Now there is a nice balance of interior red to the exterior red.

BTW, i will sell the Jet Black console lid and trim piece for a nice bundled price if interested, PM me. I did the switch after only two weeks into the new car.

Good suggestion to dye the stitching to red. I thought about that too and already have the fabric pens to do the job.

That looks really sharp. I like how you've just added those accents, red is a little overpowering for me. Good job!

Looks good. Red stitching would really bring everything together.
