Black aftermarket seats look neat in a red interior, I think. As long as they're nice seats.

lose the red steering wheel, get a black wheel with red stitching or ascents, the seats are off color tone with the rest of the interior imo..

I wish they made 7's with Black and tan interior....

Yes, i know the 1992 vert came with it, but I mean all the other years and not just some rare obscure year model.

The regular red with the maroon is NOT working. And whatever you do, don't go to town on random plastic bits with spray paint. It's often attempted and never ever successful. I say EMBRACE THE MAROON! Or start collecting other color pieces..

Agreed.

Since it is a white car, I suggest A combo of Blue and Black interior. Tis what I am sporting and it goes really well with my car. If I felt like pulling the dash board out, I'd actually have Black and Tan as I said before...but I don't have the time to spend removing the entire dash. It's such a **** on 7's.

You could wear clothes that will offset your interior, or all green and it will remind you of Christmas. Who doesn't like Christmas!

Its worth a try! Are new seats and carpet out of the question? Not cheap but HOW BAD do you hate the red interior? My old 5.0 had red interior, it sort of grows on you...eh or not..

Red interiors look great with some colors, and absolutely horrid with others. IMO, it looks total sex with that gold/champagne color that FCs came in, okay with Tornado Silver, acceptable with white... and terrible everywhere else .
