Do most people go with the red seat belts with the adrenaline Seats?
I’m leaning towards this combo.
I have Adrenaline Red seats with the red seatbelts. I'm glad I ordered them. If I were doing two-tone red/black seats, I might stick with black seatbelts. Don't have a real good photo of mine, but did find this one to give you an idea of the look. The photo flash throws a "sheen" on the seatbelt fabric against the red leather, but they're a good match.
Artic White coupe with 3LT Adrenaline Red interior and red seatbelts.
I have red seat belts with the two-tone interior… but if I got full red seats I would probably stick with the black belts, guess I kinda like the contrast.
I have full AR GT1 seats (non two-tone) with black seat belts. The contrast looks great as the red seat belts could get a bit lost against the AR seats.
I will go with black seat belts, since as you can see above, the red belts don't match the adrenaline red seats. If can't match perfectly, looks better with total contrast of the black IMO.
I think there is too much focus on how colors match or contrast. I ordered Red Mist exterior but I also wanted AR seats/stitching and AR belts and even though most said they don’t go together I think they all look great. When I’m outside the car I see the red mist and have no regrets. When I’m seated in the car, I can barely see the exterior from inside due to the sight angles so the red mist is not a factor. I see the beautiful red stitching and red passenger seat and again I have no regrets. When I’m driving and I look down on my chest I see the red belt and it is cool. Black is boring…can get that in any old car. My clothes provide the contrast. Next you’re gonna tell me my purple underwear don’t go with my lavender slippers? LOL.
Yep, as long as you are pleased with your C8 that's all that matters.
Personally,(as you) I love Adrenaline Red interior, had it in my silver '17 GS and will have it in my silver C8 Z06 when it comes. However, I went with Red Mist with contrasting saddle interior for my C8 Stingray, because to my eye totally different reds don't look good together.
But I will say again, as long as you are please with your C8, what I or others think doesn't matter.

I too have full AR GT1 seats along with red seat belts. I too agonized over which color to get. I finally decided on red and don't regret it one bit. To me they are a perfect match and I disagree with others that say they don't match. And when you are seated, and driving the car, as long as you aren't wearing an AR outfit, the contrast between the other parts of the red and black interior goes great with the red seat belts. It looks great when seated as you can't see much of the seats anyway and the black belts in my opinion would just look a little underwhelming and blend in with your clothing. In fact, it makes the car look more sporty when buckled up with the red belts. And to me, this is when it matters. Not when the car is sitting and no one buckled up.
Most every car has black seat belts. Go sporty, go red to match the red interior. You won't regret it. My two cents for what it is worth.
I wanted the contrast and so with my AR seats I left the standard black belts. It's also why I love my bright red calipers on my white car, but probably wouldn't get them on a TR car.

A retired SCCA champion racer suggested a contrast is much better when safety personnel need to extract an occupant in a hurry by slicing through the belt. Makes sense to me. I go with contrasting belts. As a matter of fact, I did go with black belts for red seats in a C7.
I went with black belts. Just the right amount of red for me. I do like the red belts though. I think I might do red belts with black interior on a torch red car....
