What color are the red seats. Do they more closely resemble redifre or torch red. I am thinking about getting redfire/black interior with red highlights. Do the red seats match the redfire nicely. Does anyone have any pics that captures the paint and the seats?

Maybe I worded my question poorly. I have seen many pictures of the red seats. I am just wondering if they are too bright to be matched with the shade of the redfire paint.

My dealer has a book with leather and fabric samples of the 2005 Ford interiors. The only color it is missing is the charcoal leather and fabric. I was suprised to see the red leather was darker than all of the pics I've seen posted. The flashes from the cameras, and the inability of a lot of digital cameras to accurately reflect reds, make the pictures somewhat misleading. Although I haven't seen the red interior in person, if the sample is accurate, it looks a lot better than the pics I've seen on the web. I recommend stopping by the dealer and asking the see the book.

I was wondering the same thing and will most likely change my order tomorrow from Torch to Redfire, because of the seats.

The red interior is not quite as bright as Torch Red nor as dark as Redfire. This picture is Torch Red, which is what I have ordered.

And, one more. I did not get any pictures of Redfire; it was in a tent when I saw it and the lighting was too poor.

Correct, Torch Red is not metallic, which is why I am getting it.

I just reordered my Mustang from a different dealer today and switched from Legend Lime with dark charcoal interior to Redfire with Red interior. After looking at these pics though I am thinking that the Torch Red looks better with the Color Accent Package.

Thinking, thinking, thinking..

I saw the redfire with the red interior and loved it - very dark and rich looking. Then the folks here told me that isn't the production color, so I guess I'm going to have to wait and see the actual color at my dealer.

May end up getting gray if the red is as bright as the pics in the link above.

In photos... the red interior appears brighter. In person it's somewhere in between being a bright red to a rich red and I think it depends on what color car it's on too.

Mineral Gray with Red interior looks STUNNING!!! As does the black exterior.

But with the silver and red exterior.. the red interior appears to be a little bit brighter.
