Default custom interior help

So im getting in on the interior gp, and Im having a lot of trouble deciding on a color scheme for the car. Pictures of the car are in my sig. Appearance wise the car is stock except for polished calipers/brackets and polished grills in the hood. I like the black/red but It seems that evrybody does black/red in black cars. All opinions apreciated

Black/Orange or Black/Yellow

Use the bright colors as accents in the seat middles and door panels. I think it would look pretty good myself especially if you could get a nice red orange that is similar to the gauge lighting color.

Black & Lt Grey? Subtle but very cool and timeless.

I vote for Black/Grey(or silver) or Black/Blue. You might also consider suede for the colored inserts.

For that Firehawk, I'd go with something classy. Black with light gray suede inserts, with a silver "Firehawk" embroidered on the headrests. If you need a little color, have it stitched with red thread.

I did black/dove gray and LOVE it.

I bet suede would be nice, I dont know how it would hold up for longevity tho.

Holy shiznity, Steve! My highly trained eyes pointed out that you have the exact same remote for your CD Deck as I do. What kind of head unit you have?

Sorry for the side track to the original topic: my opinion definately go with black and grey/dark grey. They go great. I did that with my interior. It's originally greay, so I went black to accent it and it's bad-***

I went with black/orange on my car, but I would suggest the suede inserts on yours. Black with a light gray suede insert would look awesome!
good luck!

I just ordered Black with Ice Gray inserts and then going to do matching embroirdary of the Firehawk that is on the side of my black Firehawk so the Silver and Violet. I couldn't decided on what color contrast stitching, so I didn't get any. I want it to be low key and classy. I thought about silver inserts, but it looked too shiny to me and the dove gray looked too tan to match the gray of the Firehawk on the side of the car. Just some thoughts!

This what I went with. I ordered the premium kit all leather with red and black. Got the stiching in red. Got the silver firechicken in the headrests.Ordered fire red carpet from year one.Also all ready installed silver overlays with the firechicken in red on the gauges also says ws6 under the firechicken,and jmws6 under the mph in red. And have the hvacs in silver also with a red shifter boot topped off with a red and silver flameball shifter with the new led light. All thats left is some custom floor mats and for me to stop being lazy and put in my ws6 pedals painted red. The ws6 part. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted but I think it should look sweet.
