I'd be nervous about dying my seats. You could pick up leather take offs in dark charchol from newtakeoff.com. But if you're persistant on black, then maybe dying it would work. Never done it myself though...

Sounds high-risk. You could REALLY **** it up. Just saying.

This is a huge project and there will likely be issues, I would not suggest doing this. I happen to love the parchment interior (to me black is common and boring JMO); if you really don't like the interior I would suggest you trade (though I realize you have quite a few mods). BTW, a color dyed interior would devalue your car significantly; buyers would be leary of this.

Reading this board, I can't believe some of the things that people contemplate doing to brand new beautiful cars. This idea is up there in the top 10.

"I painted my headlight, taillight and turn light covers flat black and the car looks great! I can't see a damn thing when I drive at night, but that's OK. But I'm pissed now, I got two tickets! Help!"

"I want to lower my car and add a front spoiler and body work so that everything is 1/4" off the ground. There is a speedbump at the end of my street and I'm afraid I wount be able to leave my neighborhood. What should I do?"

BAD IDEA JEANS!

You will likely have to replace your lenses; I know of no solution that will remove the paint and not cloud the plastic. There are plenty of tint film solutions so I'm not sure why you went withpainting. Not sure about your lowering question. 1/4" off the ground is too extreme to really even comment on.

"I have a brand new car with a tan interior and leather seats, but I want it to be black. So I am going to use shoe polish to dye it. Can't fail, I'm sure it will look great. What do you think?"
