Default quick Q about the all-red interior

I'm trying to decide between Spa Yellow and Grand Prix White. I like the red interior on the white S2000, but having everything red scares me a bit, particularly the dash. In photos, the red dash always reflects off of the winshield and it looks like it is very bright and might actually affect visibility. For those with 2002s and the all-red interior -- is this actually the case? For those who were skeptical at first, did you get used to the all-red and eventually come to like it? As much as I love the white exterior, I need a little reassurance before I put down the money.

oh, and before I get blasted -- I know there are existing threads on the all-red interior, but I couldn't find any details about winshield glare. I'm very aware of the search function.

GET YELLOW! After all it is a sports car... yellow is sooooo flashy! White should be left for sedans.

There is no glare from the red in the drivers seat, and personally I don't think it is TOO much. I love my red interior!

I just got my GP White with Red interior about two weeks ago. When I first looked at the pics on the internet, the all red was really really bright (to me). After getting to see the car in person, the red looks awesome. I have no glares or any problems with it. Plus with the top down it it great looking. (IMO).

Red Interior...

The all red is a classic roadster color.
However, not everybody likes it. I do!!!
As far as glare, that has never been an issue. I never even thought about it before you mentioned it!

Go look at it and get what YOU like. Not what everybody else likes!!!

I think it looks good, but I'd be a little worried about it fading to pink after a lot of sun exposure.
