Definitely different. I'll make my judgment after you finish with seats and everything. Doesn't look too bad as is though.


fwiw- I've got a set of tan firebird panels that would make perfect candidates for recovering/dying/custom work! Let me know.

I don't really care, none taken. The interior of a Z28 isn't the best looking anyway and given that its in different stages of completion its gonna look terrible, but I wanted to see how it looked and it gives me an idea.

It does match pretty well actually. It was getting dark and my camera sucks; it always makes my car look orange for some reason. IDK I'll take some better pics when the new seats go in.

I been thinking about doing this in my '01 camaro, thanks for being the first one...Ahole! LOL, J/k man.

In all seriousness, I 'd keep the seats, and floor mats black.
Have some red accents in the door panels and some type of red stitching on the floor mats.

Looks a little 1980s, I think a brighter red would have worked better.

Interesting to say the least. . .

With black floor mats and black seats it might look good. Maybe give in a different contrast kinda look.

I like it, different strokes for different folks I guess. I think you picked the right shade of red too, if it was bright red I don't think it would have looked as good.

It's going to look good with black seats and floor mats. One man's gold is another man's silver. Screw the haters bro! If you like it, it's a done deal.

I don't know why there's so much hate, I think it will look great when you get black seats. Black/red interior on a red car is just too sweeeet

Got it from Speed-Inc. It was a little cheaper since it was free shipping.

Lol, yeah. There's a can of Copenhagen in the console pocket in front of the shifter.

Thanks for the comments guys. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Black leather and red suede material came in today

That would look great with black seats. You can get black covers for them that look just like factory.

Try taking better pictures without the flash turned on. That tends to throw off some colors. I think black would've looked really good though
