    I like it, would also go with door cards changed out to red as well to complete the look.

      ^^^I would not. Maybe cardinal centers but I like the contrast.

                Some special paint for interior, only about $100 for the paint from a shop in sac called Jerry's paint.

                  Can you be more specific about this "special paint" ..is it similar to SEM leather/vinyl paint?

                    Looks a little too bright for my liking. Maybe it's just the lighting.

                    Also, does this wear off on your clothes after driving around? Always wondered that. Especially with a color like red.

                          Yea it was a leather paint, color matched to cardinal red. Turned out a little
                          Darker than I thought it would. Lighting shows it a lot brighter
