Arrow Interior Decision

Opinions please - -
I'm considering going with the Red Pack interior on my Stratus Gray F Coupe.
This is the package that even the carpets are done in red.
Will I regret this long term? Is the red interior too over powering?
Any opinion welcome!
TIA for your help.

Irrespective of whether red will cause eye fatigue or maybe road rage over time, IMO it's a lousy color paired with stratus grey.

Much more appropriate for black paint. Ymmv

I disagree. I think red is a great choice for the Stratus. Customize your own car the way you like it. A friend of mine has a gray M3 hardtop vert w/red interior & it is sweet.

The only exterior color a red interior does not gel with is red. I had Silver Boxster Spyder RS60 with red interior and it was stunning. Never got tired of the red interior.

Thanks everyone for the replies! The Stratus Gray is such a dark gray it's often mistaken for black according to my sales person. I can tell stratus from ebony or ultimate black with no problem. I'm just trying to figure out if in the long haul I will be happy with the red interior. My original order is for Cirrus/Jet but I'm still within my lockout date for changes. Us girls worry about things like that

I agree, red goes great with deep grays and since Stratus seems to look black in everything but direct sunlight anyway, it should be a great match.

Agree on the red. It will look great.

I'm leaning toward the red with jet stitching. It's the red or cirrus with mineral stitching.
Just don't want to make the car less "British Elegance" by going with the red.
