    Red is iffy and can fade quick, on my white car i did the dash white and some other things.
    You could do white to match the car then red accents like the rest of the car

    I think for a white car - white is the best route to go.

    Red reminds me of a crayon box. 'Course nothing beats stock. Pontiac did a pretty good job, imo. I really can't change anything in the G8 interior wise without it looking "off."

    Do white..red would stick out like a sore thumb. Hey look at me I had a can of krylon red paint bust over my dash. Thats how I feel when I see red. White and get some red leds for the footwell and or rest of the interior and call it a day.

    Do white, go to cardomain.com and look at some of the red interiors their. To me, it too much, but to each his own.
