Default Red interior, opinions?

Thinking about doing my seats and accents in red after christmas. The seats are all cracked in some places, so I was going to refinish them with colorplus anyways before my girlfriend mentioned that she wanted red seats. I did some photo shopping to see what it would look like. Think I might go more burgundy ish.











opinions?

maybe not do the speaker grills.

It's a little loud, PS will do that to ya - luminosity (?) gets out of whack pretty easy.

I think it looks a little donktackular, but it shows promise. The grey/black (is that what you have now?) is pretty boring.

looks like the sts-v interior, what about renewing the leather and using red stitching?

Ghetto is the first word that comes to mind.

Then, 1987 called and wants their IROC interior back.

Those pictures are ******* terrible. Looks like it belongs at the NOPI show.

I can go all night with these comments.

Not in a caddy man.. If you want to add color then use it in a very small accent like stitching. The red leather is gonna look like garbage once it wears. Just my 2 cents man

Hey man don't take the opinions as insults.. They are just opinions and you'll get 90 different answers for every 100 questions asked. It's your car, what makes you happy is all that counts.. Start off small if you do go that direction. Do the seats but leave the panels.. That way if you don't like it after All, all you have to do is get a set of seats.

Ew. Just get a set of these ($1699 apiece--ouch!):





They're going to be one of the finishing touches on my car. Along with a 2014 Crystal Red tintcoat with additional metal specks.

i dont recommend that red interior, like people have said before do accents like stitching or something. subtle changes are the best, enough to make it different without making it loud. i think youd get tired of the red fast and if you ever try and sell the car youve narrowed your market down really thin.

Yes op, I know its ur car but two words jump out at me. Ghetto and loud. I think you'd be tired of it pretty darn fast. If you do go with it just do a two tone red/ blk or red/silver exterior mod to finish it off. Im not too sure you'd like the comments but if u like it who cares? Honestly bro, like mentioned before just recover and go with red stiching, just my .02
