Default is this worth it?

I have a 94 formula, red. I want to turn it into the white and blue 25th anniversary seats, door panels, wheels, paint, decals, everything. Opinions? Will it work? my dad says since my car is red it will look like **** white.

family owns a shop, so it would be easy to pull the engine out to paint inside.

White just does not go with red, in my honest opinion. But if you could repaint the exterior...

I agree 100%. While the idea sounds good to you it is actually a waste of time and $$ as well unless it is an absolute MUST for you. Just remember that you will not get back any of the money you are investing when the time comes to sell one day. People put literally thousands and thousands of dollars into performance and appearance mods and generally just get a fraction back. That is just the way it works.

Neat idea, but IMO I'd put a white stripe on the red car, do the seats and call it a day. Either way, you won't get your money back out of it, but it'd look cool. Keep in mind that all 25ths were T/As, not Formulas. So even going the full "tribute-but-different-color-combo-route", unless you put the T/A body parts on, it won't be close.
