i spent roughfly 700$ (not including my seats) converting mine to black that was because i tried to stay away from painting anything. ebay nickle and dimed me too death. theres nothing to it. the toughest part was fitting and cutting the carpet. no matter what they say nothing fits like original.

ebay they were originals from a 93 cobra. i paid like 250$ for em (like i said the sheet ads up). now you can get repros for 150 but you gotta cut out the fastiner points and they don't come with the window seel.i've heard they suck. 50resto.com sells em.

You should be able to do it for relatively cheap. As the other guy did, look on ebay. People are always parting out cars so I don't think you should have that much trouble. I'd go for the parted out interiors rather than new manufactured interiors.

Grey is nice.... Im not going to do a full black but a nice two tone. Just black seats, black carpet, stock dash, black center console, black quarters, black/grey door panels, etc. something like that lol.
