Giving how vivid a red your car is, I think that would look fantastic, but.....will you follow up with door trims etc. Otherwise it may look half job bob ish..

I might buy another dash and give it a paint up see how it looks

If I like then I will get the door card leather changed to red to continue the red/black theme

I think it could look pretty cool tbh, but I'm not 100% sure on it. Like Clossie says, you'd have to co-ordinate it all the way round for it to look half decent - and it'd pretty much have to match the exterior colour as well I reckon.

IS200 Sport - Sold
Mazda 6 MPS - Zoom Zoom!

Modifications
Completed:

Currently 280bhp/295lbft; 3" Meercat custom exhaust; KW Suspension; FMIC; SSP; HPFP; Custom Stainless Steel Dials - for the moment, the only set in the world!! (Till the group buy for MPSOC anyway :lol: )

In Progress:

E-Tuning remap ongoing via Cobb Accessport; Braided brake lines; Stubby aerial; Tinted repeaters and sidelights; 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid; 3" HTP Intake
