If I liked red I would definitely go with two tone to calm it down.
If.

I have the exact same colors with a 2019 C7 Grand Sport. Looks awesome. Unfortunately the colors seem to be off on that visualizer.

That’s what I ordered. Hopefully in about two months I’ll see it in person.

The visualizer is way off on Torch Red tone.

I wish you could order two tone seats without changing the color of all the interior pieces as well. I like the seats in black/red, not a fan of the red interior pieces. I decided to go LT2 and save some $$$ for PPF and wheels since I'm not going 2 tone seats.

I'm struggling with this decision as well as I like 2-tone seats, however I like the adrenaline red interior even better. So my concern is that there's too little red if going with the 2-tone red/black seats.
It's more like getting black interior with red accents as opposed to an adrenaline red interior. Make any sense?

I expect there will A LOT of C8s at Carlisle in August in all different configurations/color combos, so I plan on pretty much finalizing my decisions based on what I see there.

That's the combo that came off the assembly line on Wednesday for me. I've never had a red interior but one of our local club members has a TR with all red interior and I like it. I didn't want to completely imitate his car and after seeing the 2-tone that is what I ordered. Museum delivery coming up on July 12.

I voted against the 2 tone adrenaline red combo. I like the adrenaline red so much I would go all the way with it.
It does look very nice with the Red Mist. I can't take my vote back now.

Funny thing is I'm getting a two tone interior. Twilight/Tension Blue. If it wasn't for that combo I would have gone all one color.
Natural or Morello Red. Or the Sky Grey.

Yes. Visualizer does a lousy job with the color match.

I have the two toned red/black interior in our 3LT Torch Red Z51. LOVE it...... it gets tons of compliments. Can't believe, for all the pics I have of our car, this is the ONLY interior pic I have. Need to do something about that......

It looks good with the Majority of the colors.

a couple exceptions.... AY and.......hmmmm Orange?

even saw a ZEUS with 2-tone adrenaline red and it looked GOOD!


I am still dumbfounded that it cost me $590 to get it in my ELB build.

i saw it on a Zeus bronze and thought it looked horrible, but saw it on ELB and liked it, from pictures I felt the opposite.
