I like the Black/red stitch look, but not sure how the 2 of them together will look. And I dunno about red leather inside a red car. Anyone have suggestions/pictures?

There are lots of pics in the Group Buy and For Sale forum. But here is one for red interior posted awhile back by Rick Hesel.

I believe Jay1064 has the color combo you are looking for. PM him for a pic.

I was like you and thought that the red stiching would detract from that clean, stock look. After seeing Jay1064's car a couple of weeks ago, I was surprised that it looked as good as it did. It's a slight hint of red that doesn't stand out too much.

BTW, Rick's stuff looks like it's OEM. Everybody comments on the console cover and how Honda has done a good great job with the interior. I think that his accessories put the finishing touches to our cars.

Good luck.

I vote for black console cover with black stitching and black shift boot with red stitching. I think the red stitching is subdued and very elegant but I'm not sure about using it on the whole console. I have not seen (except pictures) the console cover with red stitching but I have seen the boot and I liked it a lot better than I thought I would from the pictures. The best thing for you would be if you could meet up with someone who has what you are looking for. You will probably be happy with whatever you decide to get as it will be an improvement over stock either way.

Black...ALL black.

No red stitching...not on a red/black S2000.

Black leather, black stitching, however, I like the perforated sides on the console cover. Looks very good and is a nice break from the smooth seat side bolsters.
