That will certainly be eye opening! Might be tough to match that neony yellow, be sure to post pics

The all red interior is very nice, a bit too sharp perhaps for me. I have the comfort pkg with leather and would love to do just a bit of it in a color.

I figure this car looks like a toy anyway, so why not go for the look that will stand out the most and look fun.

Search this forum for Car Seat Covers, there are smart specific covers in some very bright smart colors

I had been set on Red/black/red for a long while. Then I changed my mind to red/silver/red... now this evening, Mr SmartyPantz and I were discussing it and I said that I thought that the white w. red interior is cooool and so is the black..
he said he likes black w. red, and I am hooked on the silver tridion w/anything,
so, even thought i may have awhile to think about it (more!) I probably will configure as black.silver.red.

phew! So many choices!!

The side/head/neck/thorax airbag comes out of the tridion, correct?

I think so.
If it comes out of the seat it would be a problem for seatcovers and re-upholstery...

I have to think that if an upholsterer doesn't know how to work with seat and side curtain airbags by now, they'd be out of business. Definitely something to consider, but doubtful that it would be a problem.

Any upholsterers out there?

I love the all black car with the red interior ,but living in florida ,and not sure how good the air conditioning would be in the summer I went with all silver with the comfort package black does show alot of dirt, but for the size of the car it doesn't take long to wash ,(15 minutes here) :-)

I believe that's correct; Regina posted she had some custom seat covers made and they included a cut out for the side airbags.
