Default C8
I have a c8 Red Mist on order. My order is 2 tone seats, Adrenaline red bolstering on the sides. Can anyone tell me if this is going too work? Or will these two colors clash an not look good. Any help would be appreciated. Hard to see these two colors in person.

He’d be the last person I’d depend on for an opinion. You ever see some of the cars he’s ordered? 21 years ago I ordered a torch red with grey interior.....he was not even the sales person ....he told my salesman he did not want to order it, he ran the order desk. This in Ohio....buckeye state scarlet and grey.

These colors don't compliment one another and will clash im my opinion. This is just my opinion and ultimately you will have to decide what is best for you. Best of luck with your decision.

I have much less red in mine - only the bolsters, not the console/door panels, etc.

Mine was not an override.

The reason people should ask for opinions. Listen to other peoples advice and ignore the poster who says by what you want.

Can you get the two tone seats without upgrading to the GT2 seats? I thought you had to upgrade to the GT2 seats to get the two tone option?

When I did my 2LT build I ordered the adrenalin red interior with the two tone option upgrading to the G2 seats. In my build it shows red on the console and door arm rests. Yours just shows the red on the seats?

GM actually makes this a color combo an override. This should be a dead giveaway.

So on a 2LT if I wanted to order the two tone without going to a GT2 seat I could do that by choosing the override?
