Default interior swap

I HATEEEEEEEEE my interior color. brown is so crappy looking with a white car i think balck or even grey would be so much better. and to go with it my drivers seat is so worn out and feels terrrible and the leather is all cracked on the edge by the door. does any place sell interior conversion or any place i can get a new seat because all aftermarket seats are black and if i had a black interior it would solve all my problems.

You can do it yourself cheaper than paying anyone. I just answered this a week ago for another member here was my response

1st the carpet -- these guys are great done alot of business with them and its better than factory http://www.stockinteriors.com/AutoCa...=8&ModelId=201

2nd the seats -- Now u got 2 choices -- you could hit up ebay and the junk yard see if you can grab them cheap...usually tough to find good condition cheap.. so option # 2 Katzkins Interiors can totally hook you up for probably cheaper then u can do option one with and the leather will be brand new. You can also do custom inserts, piping, and embroidering if you want http://www.katzkin.com/main.html

3rd all the plastics and vinyls --- I suggest you revinyl or take the opportunity to leather or suede wrap all the pieces. If you know someone who upholsters thats great if not stay away from custom shops you'll pay through the roof. Find someone in you area who does furniture and approach them about the project. They will most likely do it dirt cheap. Also, don't be afraid to try this yourself. You will be surprised how quick the learning curve is. All you need is some material, glue, a sewing machine and a couple of tools.. Start with the easy small plastic pieces and work ur way from there.

Perfect opportunity to set your interior off and wrap it all in suede and leather





Some people paint it, but (1) It's messy (2) You know its painted (3) It's not durable

Suede and leather gives you a plush luxury custom look.
