Can I get some HQ Photos?

[davidmoore]

Can I get some high res photos of black/red leather interior? I'm really interested in black on black/red but I'd like some better photos of how the interior truly looks. Also, does anyone have experience with how well red leather ages? If it ages and looks like crap then I'm going to say eff it.

Here are a couple I snapped a few weeks ago on my 5MP camera. I did auto focus at a point in the vehicle, but don't remember exactly where. If you zoom in and pan, you might get better view at the focus point.

The color of the leather changes pretty dramatically depending on how much sunlight is on it. In bright sun it's a close match to the red exterior paint. But it seems to get 'darker' faster than the paint as the light drops. I'd say it has more black in it that tend to dominate in lower light.

So be wary of pics.

I have red with red/black interior and would be happy to take specific pics if have something in particular you want to see.

I'm just worried about the red leather turning brown in 5-6 years from sunlight making it fade or something. But If it stays a nice red like that then that is stellar.

Are you saying it looks different in different lighting conditions, or that the color changes over time with too much exposure to sunlight?

It looks different as the light changes, and the color of the leather changes differently than the Chili Pepper paint: Under bright sunlight they closely match (like the posted pics). In less light the leather gets darker (more black) faster than the paint.

No one has had one of these cars for more than a couple years, so there is no telling how the leather will hold up. I'm betting mine won't fade too much out here in drippy, gray Seattle, though.

Isn't leather, leather? So if anyone knows how well red leather ages would be able to answer the question.
