    Tan Interior too...BLACK, hard??

    how much of a pain in the arse is it to convert a tan interior to black? assuming that i am switching to OEM stuff...no welding no nothing just straight swap.

      carpet removal probably requires everything to come of right

        to do it RIGHT, yes,

        you can cut around the heater core and shit, but its kinda a pain in the ass..

          OR, just leave the tan carpet and get everything else black. Even mats. Would look tight.

                  Yea, contrast is good. If everything was black it wouldn't have that same kickass feeling...well, maybe it would, but just be lazy and keep the tan carpeting! :D

                    The carpet isn't that bad. I just cut around the heater core. It's all covered by the center console anyway. Just don't cut any wires!! ;) (ask how I know....)

                      yeah from what i understand there are ways around the carpet thing, but i'd replace it if you can... i'm thinkin about ripping the carpet out of my car to put in black carpet w/black interior.... it may be a PITA but i think it's worth it...

                        It is!! VERY MUCH.

                        I LOVE my gray carpet. MUCH better looking than tan!!

                        I'll have pics up soon. :P

                            I think that's an entirely different level there- the way I understand it, windows must be removed to get this out. :shock:
