Default Red or Black Recaro's ???

I have a 96 honda civic with a ctr steering wheel, ctr cluster, and ctr door panels. The car is red. I just wanted to get a few opinions on if i should go with red recaros or black recaros. I personally like them both the same i just feel red might be a little bit too much red becuase the car is red as well...

heres a pic of the interior... crappy shot i know but u get the idea..

since you have a red car....i'd go with the black, even tho you have red door panels...To me, red seats on a red car just doesn't look to appealing.

in my opinion red seats in any car attract way too much attention so I'd always be worried bout them getting stolen.

i have red and black sparco roadsters in my red hatch. they have the black patches to them, which may be what makes them flow a little better, but i think they look pretty damn good as do the other people who see them.

black is more practical and i think more elegant.....less prone to sun damage and the shading that jeans make on the red suede.

black ftw. though dont get me wrong...red recaros are fire but just prefer black over red, plus itll look nicer in your car.

to much red can be overkill.

going off of how my car is looked at with the red seats, if its kept outside and is a daily driver, i would have to suggest the black seats as the red does get alot of attention. however, if the car is a weekend/show/fun car and is garaged or covered the rest of the times, id suggest the red seats as they are a huge attention grabber

i think the black recaro's with red letters would look the best with a red car.
