    Factory or not, that interior is HIDEOUS! Someone please put that car out of its misery and put a proper black interior in there. Sheesh. :)

    Saw all that beautiful red and wondered why do we call it a 'dashboard'. Looked it up and found:

    "The term first appeared around 1846 and referred to a leather apron or wooden board mounted at the front of a horse-drawn carriage, designed to prevent mud or water being splashed into the interior of the vehicle by the horses' hooves. "Dash" in this sense reflects the basic meaning of the verb "to dash," namely "to throw sharply against something"... "

    That red should definitely be an option.

    I think the red looks good. Just finish it off by doing center console and door panels. The combo looks bad but either color on it's own or mixed with black would be fine.
