No tweaking here -- it is what it is. At least it;s not brown! :)

I've been adding tweaks (shifter knob, mats, etc) to emphasize some of the other colors of the interior.... eliminate a little of the RED everywhere.

I had a brown/brown FB several years ago.  Wasn't crazy about the brown exterior, but did like the interior.  Wish I still had it - I was t-boned by a guy running a red light.

Red interiors still show up - Porsche Boxter, Cadillac CTS-V, Mustang GT, Corvette, and others, so you're hangin' with a decent crowd.  Probably seems like a good idea when first buying the car, but I'm not sure about the long term.

Red interior certainly gives you a dated look.  Not that it is a bad thing but it certaily highlights the year it was made.  Black is a great universal interior color,  White is another one, but much harder to keep clean.  Its all a matter of personal choice.

Chad D.:
Red is nice as a highlight colour to a black or grey interior. The rx8 looks nice with the black/red leather interior. I just prefer grey/black cloth because I don't slide around as much.
Faded red on the other hand looks better in a 84 firebird with t-tops.

Anyone local have or know of someone with a K8 Tornado 7 or 626?  Haven't seen the color in person since the mid-80's and am considering painting my project K8.  I'd like to see it again on a vehicle before committing. 

The alternative would be buying a paint sample, but nothing beats the real thing on an entire car.

Thanks!

No clue on who would have that.   If you do find it, it may have some sun fade from the years.
