Just to be different, I'd go with tan accents...or better yet, a tan interior!

If it's good enough for Ferrari, it's good enough for me

To each it's own but I think you ruined that car. Some of the ideas are ok but the lights?

No offense man, like I said to each it's own, I am sure you could pick mine apart as well. Definately unique.

I assume you mean me. Well, the interior string lights were done for shows, so no I'm not exactly happy with the daytime result either. They look too orange. I like them at night though when they are on and glowing at the shows. Really sets off the dash. I wish there was a way to camouflage them during the day though. Oh well, I will have an Epiphany one day and figure it out.

I have a red Camaro. My Carpet, headliner and sail panels are black, seats are two tone light/dark gray (4th gen), gray plastic and visors.

Or maybe a pic works better

If you just keep it clean it will set it appart from most cars.

You could make the tuck and roll in the seats red. That always works well. A red and black steering wheel. If you can paint well, the rear seat fold down release would look nice red, the door locks might look good red, a red shifter would be cool I think. Replace all of the orange dash/shifter lights and filters with red. That would be tough.

I would look into getting the seat recovered. Have the middle sections red and keep the black outside. I am installing purple neons. Just to make it look different. And also because having red and blue lights inside are illegal.

How about some racing buckets and those 5 point seatbelts....that would definatly change things up.

otherwise I'd just accent some of the interior with some paint...
