Now that the 2016 F-Type R have body color rocker panels, it only looks good in the darker colors, in my opinion. Love it in grey. Congrats!

You mean side skirts? Rockers were always body colored, and they look better because darker colors make them disappear.

Absolutely beautiful car and color. How would describe the interior red color? It comes across as a tomato kind of red on my screen. I have read that this color is not as bright in person. Is this the same red on all jags?

The red interior looks great in person. But for some reason it's doesn't translate as well in photos.

It's fairly muted -- red enough, but not too red. It changes with ambient light somewhat. Hard to describe. I could post more pics with the color combination, but you really have to see it in person. Most casual observers volunteer that "it's not too much red," implying that it's a good balance. I'm happy with it.

I've seen a couple with the Red interior option, and they look fantastic in person.

Take note that what Whirlinturbin is showcasing is not the "red interior" option, but merely red duotone performance seats. The "red interior" option turns a good 80% of the cockpit red, and IMO, is too much. But it's all a matter of taste.

I've seen two in person, and they looked fantastic IMO. Not too much at all, photos don't don't do them justice.

I went with the duotone red seats after seeing a couple F-Types with the redzone full interior pack and determining that it was just too much red for my tastes. With the duotone red seats I get enough red to look sporty but enough black to keep my eyes from bleeding.

I had the same problem with the all red leather interior on the Boxster. Just too much red, and there wasn't a split red/black option.

YMMV

Love the initial look of the all red but the duotone is a great balance. Just need to get one now. These pictures are tough on the willpower.
