my car is yellow with the yellow seatbelts and rear console. i've contemplated painting the seatbacks, but i think in my case it'll be too much and start to look ricey.
any opinions?

depends on your interior color. light color seat backs with dark interior look striking. likewise with dark color seat backs on light interior. dark on dark or light on light is not so good IMHO.

Def red. Mine are painted black so its a lot less distinctive (black/black/black) but still looks good.
