Default Adrenaline Red interior... Help me convince the fiancée!

So my fiancée is OK with me getting white, but she does not like the red interior at all...

If you have some great red interior photos, please post them!

I need to convince her that it's the combo to buy.

When we ordered our z06 in 2014, I wanted shark gray, wife wanted white. We compromised with the blade silver, then I let her pick the interior. She chose the red, and I have to say it stands out (in a good way) with silver (and probably white too).

Seems like a really "sexy" color for the interior. We get lots of compliments on the contrast of red, silver, and black/carbon accents.

You could get the two tone to break it up a little.

Arctic White and Adrenaline Red is an incredible and classic Corvette color combo. It really pops in the sun and is usually a show favorite whenever I see C7s with this combo. It looks even better with the Z06 wide body and more aggressive vents.

I would side with her and forget the red interior. You will thank her down the road.

Just finishing deal on TR with AR interior. Wanted LB exterior, but couldn't get car with red interior, so I changed my exterior color. In person, the red interior just won out. Hope that helps your situation!!

It's your last chance as a single guy to get what you want. After you're married there is a lifetime of compromise.

You can say that again. He's lucky she's even letting him buy one.

I like the two tone red/black in my 04 Z. Great combo.

The two-tone option did it for me! I was all set to go Kalahari . . .

I have two tone with black suede inserts. I didn't want red but the black suede in the center changed my mind.

And if you have an accent color like red then you can get a nicer steering wheel...
