Default Forumula Red + full red interior JDM spec?

Hey guys
My BB s2000 is in need of a respray and the fact i wanted a s2000 in all colours but black does not help. Black just does not show the s2000 curves as well as it should in my opinion. After alot of thinking finally decided on red or dark mica grey (WRX/BRZ gret). Problem is i own the full red interior option and i was thinking how would it look if the car is red? Tried searching on google but after awhile i was lead to believe there was no ever such a option but while i was having a look at dealers in japan via importers out of boredom i found this interesting one







Not sure if it was a job by the previous owner or it came out of the factory like that.

Opinions guys haha

Too much red and the red interior is a different shade, looks like one of them is faded.

I disagree, I don't think either faded. The red interior was never meant to match NFR. I think it looks ok, different. If you like red, try it. Cars used to come with matching interiors often. The S had the Suzuka blue on blue option.
I don't think that car came from the factory that way unless you could factory order the car in Japan.

id go with some sort of white to bring out the res on the inside and accent with red/black rims. too much red could over kill plus having two different shades of it. up to you, hell i gotta change my oem silverstone to something else

Good find! I was thinking of going all red interior in my NFR for a while. Judging from the pictures, it doesn't look half bad IMO.

I wouldn't say it's "faded", but red leather will never be able to match NFR. It's not supposed to. Who want's to sit on shiny leather?
