89Steve Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 you plan on doing it yourself or having it done by a shop? by yourself its the price of the carpet and some time. Also, new insulation is probably a good idea. Might as well if you've already torn it down that far. It isn't too hard but you'll have to take off all the trim, seats, and plastic in the interior. I did mine to beige on black and it looks real good IMO :hmm3grin2orange: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEPORE Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 How much would it cost me if i change the color of my interior into black? the best way to do the swap is to find yourself a donor car with black interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 How much would it cost me if i change the color of my interior into black? depending on how close you are, I have full black interior I could sell ya. Front seats aren't in perfect condition, but they aren't bad. Everything else is in great shape (rear seats need to be cleaned...I have some black magic leather care stuff I'll be spraying on them soon to keep them in good shape. It should shine them right back up. http://www.snapdrive.net/files/493935/IMG_0149.JPG http://www.snapdrive.net/files/493935/IMG_0154.JPG http://www.snapdrive.net/files/493935/IMG_0148.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEPORE Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I want a new interior :fighting0061: well if you want "new" interior go to your local upholstery shop and get a quote.... most of us that change the color of are interior do it by swaping from another car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter is most likely easiest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FijiPhil Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Its definately doable, but theres a lot involved. Pulling the dash is a pain. Id def reccommend getting a parts car with a black interior and pulling it first so you can see if you want to do it on your driver or not.

j-hanson Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) -if you are wanting black stuff, get black interior from members selling stuff.. dont get that crap from the parts store to change interior color.. youll still want to pull everything out, clean every little part, prep it, and then paint it w/ hopes that it sticks... at that point youd be better off time and money wise to just put good used interior in -i start out around 10-12k for a complete interior.. that includes new everything.. dash, doors, seats, carpet, headliner, etc... covered in leather, suede, and wool carpet.. -for more affordable builds using vinyls, synthetic leathers and standard carpets youll still be lookin a good 3-5k for an interior... -if you get a quote under 2500 for a complete changeover id be scared of the corners getting cut.. both on labor and cheep materials that wont last a year.. -i gutted my car in about 3 hours total.. no harnesses, no carpet, hvac, dash, center, pedals, anything... you can totally change interiors with minimal tools and experience as long as you have a good service manual.. dont be scared of swapping out an interior.. it looks harder than it really is.. josh Edited November 11, 2008 by j-hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
