Already ordered the red/black two tone with shadow grey. I think either would look great though!

I’m in the same boat.....have a SGM Z51 on order and am still tryin to decide between sky cool gray and AR 2-tone. Probably end up with the Red/black. I think it looks a bit more aggressive plus I like the Red steering wheel stripe!!!!!

Both will look awesome. Red is the more bold look, Gray more subdued.

I’d go red/black.

Purely subjective, but we bought a dark gray metallic Jeep Grand Cherokee for my wife and got the very light gray interior and it is stunning. IMHO, if the exterior was a lighter gray I would get the red, but either will look great.

That would be my vote too. But it needs to carry over with at least a little red outside, thus red calipers too. Maybe also a red engine cover.

I really like the black with red stitching but didn’t want to pay for 3LT vs 2LT hope I don’t regret just getting black.
