black exterior - red or blue carpet anyone?

[87blackroxi]

I have a black exterior- grey carpet 87 coupe. The carpet inside is getting pretty ratty and I need to replace it soon. I think the grey doesn't do the car justice. Just too plain. Do any of you vette owners have black cars with red or blue interiors/carpets? I really would like to see some pics to get an idea of what would look the best. I think it needs more contrast but don't want the car to look foolish.

Please, anyone post pics if you have them.
thanks,
shane

Go for Black IMHI. !

That's a tough one!

The black interior is the natural choice but in the summer you will be driving around in an oven.

If l was in your shoes l would get a red or even better a beige carpet.

But that is my two cents.

I have an all black 92 . the Carpet does not make it HOT it is the Black body that makes it hot + the sun roof, just turn up the AC!

it's a tough call. i'm in florida. hot no matter what. i plan on keeping the exterior black for a while ($$$). I just want the inside to look better. just looking for ideas.

Black and red is good

I'd go with the red. I don't have any pics but black w/red int. is one of those combos that looks good on any car.

Go for Black IMHI. !

I agree!

you have graphite seats don't you. I would say that the black might throw off the rest of the interior, with all the grey trim. However, the red might look pretty good.

Graphite seats ? I would go black, will set off the grey and charcoal nicely .

 

[Vettefan87]

Yeah I would definetly change it to black.

This is not exactly what you requested but at least it gives you some idea of the contrast of having red carpeting and a black seat.... Personally I like the look.

black on red!

I think the black on red looks awesome! The only draw back is i do have the grey seats. But I think seat covers can take care of that. the red and black really looks sharp.
thanks for everybody's input.

Having a tri-color interior sounds cool too. Red carpet, grey doors and arm rest and black seats, very Sci-Fi.

Red........

Red seats, for sure. New leather and foam will amaze you at how comfy they were. U can do it yourself.

Black carpet and window film to cut summer heat.

Another vote for red. From another tampa bay local- Palm Harbor.
I hope you keep it in the garage, I know how HOT our cars get sitti'n in the sun down here!

unfortunately I have no garage. i search for the biggest tree i can find with the most shade.

but i think after looking at some of the posts i am going with red. ettevroc's pic is what i am looking for. very sharp with the red interior with black/red seat covers. With my black exterior i think it will be bad a**.
