Thoughts on Red/Black interior
I really want the Silverstone w/ the red/black interior, but can't seem to find one to look at in person.
My feeling is that the car really needs the red to break up the grey/black and I like some color to an interior- I hate the incredible black or grey monotone interiors of the German cars- My M3 was like a battleship inside.
Naturally, no dealer will get one for me simply to look at (understandable), and the nearest car w/ the red/black interior is 3 hours away, and the exterior color is not the Silverstone, so it's not even the kind of situation where if I liked the interior I could just get the car.
Here's my question- should I be concerned about just ordering the car w/out seeing the interior- is there something I should know, etc? There are some colors that you need to see in person- I've had that happen to me in the past.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for the assist!

If you got one with the red/blk interior and didn't like it, you could easily find someone who would trade or buy it from you at a premium. The interiors of these cars is very easy to transfer...
I've have a my04 sebring w/red and black and i LOVE it!!! I dont see how anyone could have all black... The red makes the car look so much more complete... Do it... Although 00-03 have the all red seats... 04-05 have the black and red.... I personally like the two tone seats... hope that helps a little
I couldn't deal with all the red carpeting. If I were to do it, I'd buy or trade for Red/Black seats and door inserts and leave the carpet / center console black.
Just my opinion ... but if I were gonna spend all that money to do that, I think I'd get my seats re-upholstered in 2-tone black/silver and maybe stitch a red S2000 logo into the seat ... and then get silver door inserts. Add some heated seats while I'm at it
www.leatherseats.com can do all that for you, they had a group buy going awhile ago so some people should have the interior done by them too.

Appreciate the input- when I see that pic, I know I want that interior!- & I kind of like the red carpeting! Also, I do see your point with the red/black vs. all-red interior.
Screw it, I'm gonna just order the car tomorrow (or have the dealer get me one)!
Price locally is $30,475 (3,060 off sticker) OTD- not including taxes. In NH the taxes get paid to the town/city- so the dealer has nothing to do with it. It'll probably cost me $700 to register the car- and they go by the sticker, not what you paid!
Something about "tax-free" New Hampshire always makes me laugh! "Tax-Free" as long as you don't own a car, a house, or a business.
Thanks, again for the input!
