How about furry red carpet??? Are you a fan of Rick James?

My dad back in his day would customize his vehicles like that with fur and anything else you could think of...

go onto www.bmwusa.com and configure a blue 3 series w/ red leather so u can get a feel for what it looks like. u'll need to use the 360 exterior view AFTER u set the interior color.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

i dunno...it could look good if done right. do you plan to add accents interior/exterior so it all flows right? If you just plan to get red interior on a blue car may look funny. Are you planning on just getting the red/black combo from another rx8? Or custom work?

do a custom blue/black interior. that looks hot. it'll match the blue/black exterior of your car.

There's a 335i that parks in my office parking lot. I could try to get a photo of it so you could get the flavor. I'm not 100% sure it "works", but I don't hate it either.

Then again, I'm pondering red&yellow alcantara for my Lightning Yellow, so perhaps my judgment is suspect to begin with...

i dont plan on doing it all red.. right now im thinking about just the front seats and carpet (actual carpet not mats, mats will be black)

i thought about blue and black inter but imo thats overkill on 2 colors...

Hmmm ... I voted Mad Rice! But if you do decide to go red interior, get some white wheels too to show your American/French/Russian/etc. colors
