SV6 with Red Hot SSV Interior. Opinions?

[-SpydeR-]

Hey everyone,

After making a whole list off mods that I'll be doing as soon as Uni exams are over, I have started to reconsider the SSV interior for my Nickel (Silver) 07 SV6. As I have the Onyx black leather interior as opposed to the cloth black with red inserts I am trying to figure out whether the Red Hot Dash, Glove Box and Knee Bolster would suit the black leather seats as I want to throw a bit of colour into the plain black interior.

Here's an example from an SSV ute, although obviously my seats don't have the red leather inserts. Also I'll have an SSV head unit and red leather gear knob in the mix as well.


So what do you guys think, without taking price into account, just on looks?

Not a fan, it's just too over the top.:spew:

Maybe just just use the red gear knob and get a set of Red Hot dash strips for a bit of 'SUBTLE' color !

Thats why I bought the SS instead of the V - I prefer red on the outside, it's your money and you have to live with it. Then again I'm over 40 - you are prolly under 25 ;-)

Cheers John

I was after an ssv because of the extras that it came with over a normal ss. The one I bought happened to have the dash and interior like that too. Wasn't sure at first but love it now.

Yeah not a fan of the red plastic trim or the red inserts. Looks like an afterthought to me. The cars that work with a colourful interior REALLY work (think TT RS with the red trim). Commodores look better with black on black trim as far as I'm concerned. Keep the colour for the outside.

I agree with the above post, imho it's overkill. I think the seats look nice though.

Would have been handy if they had kept that up.

Cheers.

I think if your going for the red theme, you need to apply it subtley, not over do it like in the picture. Interior is such a tricky beast, as getting the right balance from "nice" to "wtf were you smoking" can be difficult. My advice is photoshop is your friend, take a pic of your interior and then play around with it from there, till you get what your after. Ultimately, your choice though, cause what I like and what you like might be the extreme opposites.

To each their own. I'm over 40 and I love the red interior!
