Hey guys, i just placed a pre-order yesterday on a fully loaded 6sp Titanium RX8 at Galpin Mazda in LA, and chose Red on black leather as my interior, but now im having second thoughts between the Red on Black and the Tan on black please give your opinions as to which u guys think would look better!!

 

All black is not on your poll and it is what I ordered

 

red/black is the only way to go

 

Red looks great with the Silver - Fair with the Titanium

Tan looks OK with the Titanium

Black looks best! Should be on your poll

 

You should head down to the Rev it up in OC next weekend. There is a titanium grey with black/tan AND a velocity red with black/red on display....at least that's what they had on display when it was up here a couple weeks ago. Seeing them in person might help you figure out which interior to get.

 

I ordered Tan, so that'd better look best :D

 

I'll be there on Friday. I'll take pics and post em up by Saturday.

 

I personally would choose black/black. I've also heard blue(inserts)/black looks awesome too....put these on the polls? I guess you only putting what you can choose from..?

 

I have seen the titanium and it has a twinge of blue in it. I think the red would clash, ever so slightly. I'd go tan.

 

Personally if I was buying the car in Titanium Grey, I would choose the straight black interior. Obviously since that is not one of the choices you are deciding on, the black/tan would be my second choice.

 

Tan gives the interior a rich Italian sporty look. It looks great.

 

i had chose the black/black interior because the black is common color for people, and i like it.

 

I choose the Tan becuase the black on black is just tooo plain for me.

 

Well I'm leaning towards silver w/ red/black... The wife didn't like the red/black combo until I explained it was especially for bad girls :p

If I was going with Titanium I might lean towards the tan. I wish they had blue inserts offered... I think that would look great with titanium.

For me the decision about outside color was influenced by my age and previous colors of cars I've had. I view the titanium/silver/black as slightly more conservative colors and since I'm 39 now I wanted my car to have a more of a feeling of class than a sportier look.

I think your choice is good... If you want more of an element of sportiness with titanium then maybe red/black would portray that better. Of course seeing both in person would help in your decision more then anything.

dam!! the polls dead even right now, this thread has only furthered my ambivalence!!!

 

I saw the tan seats in the pre-prod they had at the Auto Show and they look fantastic! I was going to get black/black, but changed my mind....

 

Hmm, I ordered Red Inserts with my Titanium. I didn't care for the tan inserts they look to chocolate for me. Though it hard to really tell unless seeing them in person, and all I've seen is photo's of them. I was sold on the Red when seeing the Photoshop of the Black with Red interior someone did a while back. I was going to get Black with Red, but went with the Titanium, because I didn't know it was going to be offered, and when I saw the pictures of it. I knew I had picked the right color.

Again like a lot of people have said, if they were to offer blue or Grey. I would of choosen that.

The best way to look at it is this, if you don't like the color once you get it. Take it to a shop that does leather intertior work, and get the color you REALLY want. Shouldn't be that expensive of a job...

jesus christ, the poll is still tied!!!!!!!!!!

 

that means half the people have bad taste lol j/p:p

 

Saw t grey with tan insert in the Rev-It-Up event. Looks really good in person. You can't really judge until you see the combination in person. Red insert looks sporty but I think it clashes with t grey. T grey with tan make the car looks more grown up and give it a little more luxurious feel. I guess it really depends on what kind feel you want to get from the interior.

 

I say get the cloth seats and then buy the dark blue Recaro sport front seats. Titanium with navy accents... thats a delicious combination. :D

 

i'd get red/black but the problem with that color combo is that don't you get red leather on the steering wheel? that's fine and okay but i'd think a bright color like red would get dirty really easily where your hands will be the most.

 

That's why they invented leather cleaner.

 

and driving gloves.

 

And nail polish remover.
