Default Thoughts on a new look that I'm considering.

Since my car is a one LT with red interior I was thinking about bringing some more red in to complement the seats. I'm considering changing out the silver finished pieces for this red carbon look. What are the thoughts of the pieces I've started with?

by the time you get all the parts in the car done, it will look busy....

Somewhere in here there is a thread where a LT1 owner added the red dash surround from a LT3 and it looked nice spreading out the red.

I think you should put your money somewhere else.

Isn't it fun when you ask for an opinion???? That's why I "don't".

I think the piece itself doesnt look bad but too much of it might look busy/bad. Not enough might look odd/cheap. I would select the pieces carefully.


But then again its your 60k+ toy. Do what YOU like.

As long as it matches your Kilt.

Is there enough space in the back to fit your Bagpipes?

I have the 1LT interior with red seats. I would not do that mod to my car. But it is your car, and if you like the looks, do what you want.

I think solid red would probably look better, if you must...

You asked, so no. Just add a red console lid, black mats with the flags. Keep it simple. Red is sharp. But, don't over do it.

Not looking good, best to move on to another idea.
