Default Opinion on Night Race Blue color interior combo

I have a chance to buy a 2014 Night Race Blue Z51 Coupe with Adrenaline Red Interior which I really like but my wife says its ugly. Has anyone seen this combo before ? Is it just me that thinks it looks awesome ?

i think that would be real unique....you may have to pay extra to go out of normal color ranges?

Looks good to me. It doesn't seem to clash. But if the boss doesn't like it be careful.

Oh, Yeah. Show your wife an opinion poll from your corvette cronies, that'll convince her.

Adrenaline Red Interior looks great with most blues including Night Race IMO

Since you asked, I think you should be more concerned with what you like, not what we like or even your wife if it's going to me 'your' C7.

I was looking at a Admiral Blue GS with adrenalin red interior … I liked it and I think NRB and AR would look good too. That said, my wife also said it's ugly. I now own an AB with two tone gray interior. Like they say: "Happy wife, happy life." For most of us, it's a major expenditure to buy a Corvette and both you and the wife should be happy with the choice.

Just my .02 cents - the darker colored Vettes look best with the Kalahari interior. To me the Blue and Kalahari would be a VERY classy combination...

I agree "Happy wife Happy life" I think ash grey would be a better match with NRB. You might have a hard time getting it sold when that day finally comes.

Sounds nice to me. Time to find the trade in value on the Wife!

1000% agree. If your wife is anything like mine, she'd prefer a more subdued style. The red interior screams in my wife's words "look at me, I need attention" or "I'm a douche bag". Have fun.

Isn't that part of the point in owning a Corvette ? They do get people's attention, 1 way, or the other. I love color combos that scream "look at me", but then again, I have a yellow and green '55.

These are actually custom fit seat covers. The original interior is black. I didn't want to wait 4 months to order the factory red seats so I did the covers instead. I also added the center arm rest in red, along with front mats and rear cargo mat. Some will say it's too much red but to each their own. I like it. And I can always take the covers off, not to mention they protect the original interior from the harsh AZ sun and heat. Good luck with your decision.
