Question for everyone

I am totally set on the red interior seats with the IUP. However I am stuck on what exterior color I prefer. What exterior color matches the interior red better - torch or redfire. Also, I am thinking that either combo may be too much red but I'm not sure. I like red but it may be too much....not sure. Satin Silver also looks appealing with the red interior as well. What do you think?

Thanks

My brother-in-law had a early 80's Mustang that had the red exterior and red interior. I have been traumatized by it ever since. Too much red. Never again. I think the torch will match up better but I'd wait and see. I would go with the Satin Silver if I got the red interior, better yet....black exterior.

I was thinking red on red too but now that you guys say that, you may be right red on red may be a little much. I think silver, black, or maybe white would go good with the red interior. Problably black the best though IMO. I think I am going with yellow though so it's gonna be charcoal for me.

Red on red will be ok on the new stang if chosen right. Redfire would look great, since the interior red is many shades lighter than redfire. That with the all the black plastic on the interior would balance pretty well imho. Torch red would be too light and not be enough shades off the interior.

That's what my brother-in-laws interior looked like in his early 80's Mustang and it had the red exterior to match. Oh so scary!

I know the new one looks better but it's hard to shake the old one.

I think black would look good. My Cougar has the red interior, but it's more of a maroon. It looks good with the black and doesn't hurt the eyes. A lot of people like it.

Guys...they're calling the interior red CRIMSON...and I saw the swatch. If anything, it's as dark or possibly even darker than the concept. As far as matching, redfire is much closer.

I think the red interior will look better with redfire, than torch red. Personally, if I was getting the red interior I would get a black, silver or white exterior. Red on red is too much for me.

I really like the redfire exterior, so I'm planning on getting the medium parchment interior.

White or silver exterior goes well with a red interior. Red on red is a little to much. For a red or redfire, I would pick a medium pearchment interior which offers a pleasant contrast.

Coming from someone who used to have red interior (in my 66, I changed it to black as soon as I could), the new red interior is NOT too much. It's just the seats and door panels. Totally tasteful. It becomes a problem when everything (dash, headliner, seats, doors, door panels, carpet, EVERYTHING) is red that it becomes a real problem.

Personally, I've always had a thing for silver with red interior.

I would imagine in that case the top would be white right? No way would that have a red top. At least I hope not! :notnice:

If they do have a red top, then people may get it. It's their prerogative. I'm not so sure there will even be a white top from what I've read here.
