Torch Red coupe in Kalahari or Brownstone?

C7vette · 09-17-2013, 02:02 PM

I'm contemplating between the Kalahari or Brownstone 3LT interior with a Torch Red exterior. Anyone seen either of these combos? I tried looking for pics but couldn't find any. Can anyone point me to any pictures or give me your personal opinion on which interior color looks better with Torch Red? Thanks and C7 rocks

I saw a photoshop somewhere of the Torch Red with Kalahari. I didn't care for it, but I think it looks awesome with Cyber Grey. IMO, Torch Red will look strange with anything other than red, grey, or black.

Red or black would be my first 2 choices. But I would definitely go with the lighter Kalahari if I had a choice between that and Brownstone. I haven't seen Kalahari on a Torch Red C7 but it looks great on the Crystal Red Metallic C7. The lighter brown also goes great on the red Ferrari as well.

FWIW, the colored gauge cluster cover of the 3LT often results in glare on the windscreen, and I find that to be a distraction on longer drives. In particular when driving into the sun with a lighter color like the Kalahari.

I'd look at the 2LT with upgrades to keep the dash one color if it were me.

Thank you all for your input. I agree that Kalahari might have too much red in it to go with Torch Red exterior. I just need to see the Brownstone in person to see if that will work. If neither looks good then I might go with a different exterior, maybe NRB with Brownstone.

Thanks for the pictures.I think Ferrari has it right, with a dark dash board. I think the colored dash board is just too much color in the Corvette. I think I am now leaning toward a black interior instead.Hopefully, I will have an opportunity to see all interior colors in person, at the State Fair of Texas, in two weeks.
