red leather seats for a TL

how would red leather seats in a BLk TL-S look? I saw the a-spec of the 04 tl with red leather seats it looked hot!

something like this... this is an example pic GTO

Whats your opinion.... thanks

^except the s2k is smaller and doesn't appear as 'loud'

imo, red interior in a black tl is hideous... too much

Its about moderation....how stylish you make it...I probably would go with the door inserts and do suede in the center of the buckets.

I like it on the seats, but it should just be accents on the door inserts, more black on that area to visually "contain" the red. That's what overdoes it, IMO.

I think if you went with a brick red, it would look more classy...think Porsche or BMW. Maybe throw some inserts on the doors and a subtle Acura symbol on the seats.

Quick attempt to PS inserts. . .



Doesn't look right to me. I don't get why it looks redder in Photoshop than this pic. . .

It's HOT! It's definitely something to think about. Perhaps use Red Alcantara as the inserts. It'd wear better and you won't have any butt imprint on it.

Looks pretty good to me...regardless of what color the inserts are, as long as there is a sense of balance...ie, the red doesn't overwhelm the whole picture. And I think you nailed it by not making the seats all red.

i think red on black looks hot. But, only on certain colors.

oooo nice ps... well done a little lighter on the red but it looks HOT. Now try ps on a
02 TL-S interior... I think a blue color acura logo on the seats would complete it...

if it looks hot on a 02 model then I think i am considering this as maybe my next mod.....
