I bought it used...everything was great about the car except the tan interior (instead of red). Is there any way to change the interior?

I actually like the tan. If you see the red leather it doesn't match with the unique Mica Red finish.

A friendly tip, your strakes are crooked. I don't want to see any 8 looking anything but perfect.

Red and tan is what I have and it looks great. I get compliments all the time. The red is a bit to bright for my liking. And I have to also say, the top strake is crooked.

Oh, and it's more of a brown versus tan. Once again, I think it looks a bit more classy than the red.

I second that. I had my choice of the red interior but decided to go with the tan. The red was a bit too much, might appeal to the younger buyer. And to hell with that editor from C&D who complained about the tan color.

The top strake on each side has driven me nuts. I can't fit them on right no matter what holes I tried...they'd still be pointing downwards. Then I tried the holes that were given in the instructions again, but without the washers that come with the screws. Now they look parallel to the car...but they aren't as secure as I'd like them to be.

Any advice?

I have the red interior and just love it! Hotsauce, you're right. The red interior probably appeals to us "younger buyers" most! (I'm 56)

Zoom, Zoom!
