I hope you're only painting your brakes black or silver...
I'm sorry but your whole "I'm matching everything" theme is going to turn out into serious ghetto-ness.
Let's take a look at Red for instance and this is probably your best choice.
Paint your stock calipers red = uhh...they're not brembo's.
Have red stitches with leather, ok understandable if you can pull it off with NEW leather.
Red climate control, cluster, and radio. Again like stitching might turn out nice but you really have to get it done right.

i realize that
and i'm not doing this all at once, but i would like to plan everything before i go and do it and start doin it dif colors
im not painting the stock calipers lol
and actually lots of high end sport cars have a lil bit of a dif color thrown in there.
I see stock mustangs all the time with some red in the seats and doors, it looks pretty good imo, not overdone at all (not saying this is high end lol)

What colour is your stock interior? If it's all black, you have options, if it's the tan interior, then you already have a secondary colour, no need for a 3rd.
Personal preference would be... a dark gray, maybe you can go lighter if you want more of a contrast. Like for the interior, you could do gray door inserts, etc.. and have the console backlight be white. As for calipers, I've always felt polished, chromey ones look best. Same for the engine bay, black hoses, couplers, etc.. with highly polished piping.

btw i think i have decided on black and white interior with very very few accents of blue
maybe like a white cluster with blue needles and the blue on white A/C colors that Lextech does or sumtin
and paint the calipers white and do either 8000k or w/e the diamond blue is HID's
thanks for the input, but i think things like red and green although good in theory with black, might get a lil crazy looking

Oh dude, if it's tan, I'd KEEP that, it looks pimp as hell.
I saw this in the interior thread on this forum, and to this day I have not seen a more baller interior.
Only thing I'd change is have the shiftboot with black stitching, not a fan of how the white stands out so much, and a more plain looking black leather **** to give it more of a luxury look.
For seats, get S2000 buckets, and have them re-wrapped in matching tan leather (since the S2K tan isn't the same) and you would have a crazy ride. That's exactly my plans actually haha.

nah the tan and black mix looks bad
the black in there looks good though
i actually remember reading that guy's post about his car, he said he was in the process of changing it all to black, his mix of tan and black was simply bc he lacked the funds to do it all at once lol

I guess it depends on preference. I've loved the black & tan combo ever since I first sat in an NSX. The two tone just looked so refined, that I didn't want to get out. Well, okay, it was an NSX, it wasn't the only reason I didn't want to get out But the owner would not have appreciated me sleeping over in it, so I had go home instead.
