I think it's a grey interior with red seats and wheel. Seeing it with the red car, I think it's not a bad combination!

My Lancia's came with dark brown interior with brightly coloured (red, blue, green, yellow) cloth or leather seats & flash in the door trims factory...
Goes to show such combinations can work.
Have seen photos of JDM EG Civic's with such interiors as well! Though might have been black or grey background colour.
Ok guys, here are more pics. Ignore the dust and water spots as it rained last night.
If you want any other pics, let me know the angle you want and I'll get some more...
The car is covered in DUST. It had just gotten back from the Nancy Greene Proving Grounds (ie highway, 4-8% grade for 15km), a lot of beer, and some brakestands and a lot of e-brake slides. We borrowed my buddies plates for this trip
You can still see that the rear bumper trim and bumperettes are still AWOL, My buddy is working on that.
The Red/Grey interior was unintentional, the grey seats were trashed, and I happened across a parts car that had mint, although red, seats. I have grey seatcovers, and plan on using them. I do prefer the grey interior, but mine is the only one I've seen.
The body lines came out incredibly well, the hood turned out ok, I think the paint looks great. What do you all think of the colour?
ICHIBAN!

I like it. Looks awesome!
Is that the same chinese fender? Looks like the right side door doesn't sit flush?
Looks sorta pink in the new pics, weird. Thats the chinese fender alright, and no, the right door is not sitting flush at the rear. It does need a slight adjustment. It's even the original door to the car.Originally Posted by Hazwan

I bet it feels good to see the car in one color
That thing is going to look badass once everything is done!
Very nice.
Almost needs a 'H' stuck on the tail... & some red on the lower halfs of the bumper ends to match the body. The sides look so pure without their rub-strips.
Will be looking forward to seeing everything else that will be going on/in to it.
Fuckin A! Looking good! Man it came out straight as an arrow! Good job on all that DIY first-time bodywork! It's awesome to see it in color! Must feel pretty good to finally have her done! Its unreal that is the same car!
And I fucking love the decklid with no emblems on the back! It's so clean! People will be clueless as to what that clean old machine is in front of them! I think the color looks like what my 1g hatch is supposed to be. Except my 1g is faded, and not nearly as pretty as that!
I think you should repaint the bumperettes and the tops of the bumpers themselves grey so they match, then hit the bottom of the bumperettes with the body color, so they look 2.5g LX style! That would really set off the car, and you wouldn't have to swap on the 1-piece bumpers.
I also don't think your red seats look bad. They match the car, and your steering wheel!

Sweet. 2.0g FTW!
Back in Castletown for the long weekend, did some more putting together today, the bumper in the back, some miscellaneous weather stripping in the engine bay and the drivers door.
Going to try for inspection on Tuesday, and drive it to Red Deer on Wednesday, for work thurs. Wish me luck.

Are you going to color sand the paint?
Yeah, you're going to have to take pictures with it clean, together and in the sunlight. It's just not getting it's justice!
