Default Silverstone/ Black or Red/Black

I'm beating myself up trying to decide between these two interiors on an '04 Silverstone. I know it's my decision and a matter of taste but was wondering if anyone has even seen the red/black on an '04. Any feedback on red in general from previous years? Resale? Any feedback welcome as I may be overlooking something.
Regular or decaf? paper or plastic? AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

I saw it. It's VERY cool in Red/Black.

I may be a little biased. I bought the all black in my '03 and swapped out the leather bits for red. Check out the link to my pix in my sig.

I MUCH prefer the red/black to the all red. All black is OK, but I think it gets too hot. (Forget about Black/Black! That's just seems crazy to me.) Espcially in Hot-lanta.

I just looked at a Silverstone/Red-Black about 30 minutes ago. It does look very nice. One thing that surprised me about it though was that the red seemed quite bit darker than it appears in all the pics I've seen of the red/black interiors. I think I actually like it better that way myself. Personally, I'm a Black/Black lover all the way. It's not that hot up here in Portland .

The red changes SUBSTANTIALLY in variaing light. Full sun, it is very bright. Darker light, like in the garage, it is VERY dark.







These were the best I could find from darkest to lightest. The last two were even taken on the same day. Notice how much brighter the top of the seat looks in the last one.

plus you can never trust the accuracy of a colored object just by looking at a picture. different camera and different exposure settings (and different film, paper, and developing process--if you are using film camera) (and monitor and video card--if you are using digital camera) will make any and all colors slightly different.

Thanks all. Got a call from my dealer- they had a Sebring w/ red/black. Ran down to see it. Almost pee'd myself. Don't even have to see Silverstone now. Sebring did it for me, perfect match with the wheels. Put a deposit down. Picking up tomorrow if wife doesn't blow a gasket. Wish me luck! Gotta duck and cover...
WWAAHOOOOOO!!!!

Atleast you get a choice, if I get either the Rio or the Berlina I'll have to swap to get the dual interior.
