Do you guys think the blue interior clashes with Sebring Orange?

You are behaving like you are in the Gator Nation. I am, but didn't do that. Btw, picked Sebring Orange because I like it the best aside from the Shadow Gray or Blade Silver Metallics, but there is no way I'd ever have a dark car in Florida. Now, if they had blue calipers!

I went with the following.

I think it looks great. I’m not as bold with my color choices so for me, getting that engine cover and calipers painted blue would tie it together nicely ... either that or red interior.

Yeah, probably good to get colors and specs you're not really crazy about. Then, you can really do well when you're selling it years later.

Dark car will certainly be in Florida. I’m not moving.

My 2cents... That's a horrible combination.
But it's your money, get whatever you want.

You got to consider - - down the line, when you sell it, or trade it in.

The blue will get old quick and become an eye sore. I don't like the in your face contrast. All black interior is the only way to go with an orange exterior.

I love the blue interior but that is my concern as well.

As someone mentioned above, Jeremy who had an early VIN basically went with the same spec.


I like it personally. Only thing I’d probably really change with your spec is going with the standard black calipers and get them powder coated blue (Think ZR1 calipers... or even a baby blue). Maybe ditch the red engine cover and get that painted blue as well to tie everything together.

Just a recommendation! It’s all up to you at the end of the day

Horrible combo, but not my car. Like they say, there's an *** for every seat.

I like clash, makes it stand out, here's mine:





Torch with tan, quite normal, but with V yellow belts and calipers.....there's only one other like it that I've seen unfortunately and oddly enough the guy has a YT channel.

Anyone can do black interior with black belts, boring as hell....nothing wrong with being different.

​​​​​​The problem with colour combos like OP posted is that it also makes the interior look cheap. If there are a few people who like having different colour combos that do not go together fair enough. But if the OP wants to ever sell the car this will be a huge detriment.

Nothing boring about having a black interior that looks classy. You already have pastel colours for the exterior, no need for the entire rainbow to be on a car.

Keep it simple and boring if you want to have an easy resell. Keep it different if you want to be stuck with the car when it comes time to sell.

The colour combos are getting ridiculous these days. It is like open up a bag of skittles and you have to use every colour on the car.
