Default Interior colour

Right, I know this is maybe gonna sound a bit silly but I'm after some advice about interior colour schemes. I have the opportunity of buying a Silverstone exterior brand new S2000, with full red interior, including red dash at an amazing price.

But I'm just not sure about the full on red. I don't mind the seats but the dash as well....isn't it a bit pimpish?????

Also, as a sensible girl in the office pointed out, doesn't the red get dirtier than the black.

Now I know that there are a million other reasons for buying an S2000. But I am gonna sit in this thing for a good few years I hope and I'm worried that the all red will get on my nerves after a while.

Any advice from red leather lovers, or haters, will be very gratefully received.

Thanks

Frankly you will likely be enjoying the ride so much you won't even notice. The red will be much cooler in the summer as the black does tend to heat up in the sun.

I have to admit that I do think the all-red is a little too red for my tastes, but if the deal is good then go for it. I was going to get the all red, but they did not have it. The dealer made me a good deal on one with the black interior, and I went and found the red pieces I wanted. Worked out well for me.

Not sure this is helpful, but I hope it is.

I have a Grand Prix white with full red interior.. LOVE it.. I think it's a very classy color....


(also since white is the least produced color, and Honda only put the full red in the 02's I think mine's the rarest combination made)

Red / Black inside is nice but all red, since you asked, is a little pimpy for me.

I have an 00 GP White with red/black inside and I love it but after seeing a seabring all red...I would love to have that also. I say go for it. The all black is a little too subtle for this car imo. Plus, I think that the black shows dirt more than the red.

I have the all red interior and I love it. It gives the car a different look over the black It shows the dirt more than the black, so you do have to throw alittle Lexal Vinylex cleaner/shiner on it from time to time and it comes right back to looking brand new again.

It may someday fetch a few more $$ on the resale due to the fact the red interior is rare. Only 1 in 4 Sebring Silvers have the red.

When you see the ALL RED in person, you mind should be made up. I love it.

Jason,
I think you have the cleanest s2k on the entire forum. Definitely love the all red interior. I forgot about your custom floor lighting - Looks excellent.
