Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
So, I debating between the Graphite and Willow interior for a Red 6MT. Does anyone have a good picture of the dash in willow? I've looked at the rides, but all the pics are pretty small.
Which one looks better?
Thx...Jonze

but it doesn't go very well with 100 degree heat.
The graphite interior in the loaner i got was so hot, the silkscreen on the back of my shirt was stuck to it when i got out of the car.

Re: Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
I have a black G with graphite interior and I live in AZ. My sis-in-law thought I was crazy, but after the first summer she commented that the temp of my G was no hotter than her tan Expedition. I have 20% front and 5% back and rear window tint, I’d highly recommend tinting any vehicle with a dark interior. With that said, get the graphite!

Re: Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
I've had both the willow AND the graphite and I can tell you that the graphite is harder to keep clean. Scuff marks on the leather along with dust/dirt on the mats shows up MUCH more on graphite than the willow.
The downside of the willow is that I could see a visible stain from my belt on the seat back after only 2000 miles even with meticulous cleaning and conditioning.

Re: Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
I think the Graphite would blend better with the Red than the Willow. I have Black interior on my Red coupe and I survived the SoCal summer without any gripes. I'm sure the tint helped. As far as which one looks best, that's totally your call. If you're buying it, you gotta live with it. It's whatever you think looks best.

Re: Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
I think that in general, the willow has a much more luxurious look, while the graphite has a sportier look. And I prefer willow most of the time.
But since red tends to be a sporty color, graphite may complement it better.

Re: Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
If you like black interiors, it will go great with the red car. If you like tan interiors, it will go great with the red car. I hate black interiors, just personal preference, so I went with the willow and I still think it looks awesome. You don't need the graphite interior to convince anyone this is a sporty car, but the tan seems to help convince them that this is also a luxurious car. So get whichever one suits your style better, because looks-wise you can't go wrong with the red. [img]/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
Willow will show more dirt but graphite will show more scratches. In the past I've had cars with the darker leather & ended up with a lot of visible scratches. I could have bought a red/graphite off the lot but waited on a red/willow instead. Only had it a couple of months but haven't had a problem cleaning the leather.

Re: Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
Willow definitely. IMO the black contrasts the red by being too dark. Cars look good with dark ex / lighter int or dark ex / dark int. Or light ex looks better with lighter int. Like you wouldn't get a white car with black inside, unless you get a dark dark tint so it doesn't contrast when you look at it.

Re: Laser Red with Willow or Graphite interior?
Graphite is definitely sportier, willow more of a luxury look. Have had three black leather interiors and they look great, don't show any dirt. Live in the northeast so heat is not a real problem though.
