Default From Tan to Black - my interior swap / color change (56K warning) many PICS

Well things are finally starting to get done to my interior. I received "most" of the parts needed for my interior swap/color change. Everything is done in German Silvernit and German Vinyl or leather. Here are pics as promised...





















All pieces out...

Wow! The difference is quite dramatic and the black does look much better.

Do you have an overall before and after picture for comparison?

Looking good. I may attempt to do the same, someday.

I'll look forward to the installation follow up...

That's funny. I start to post when the car is empty, and before I can post the carpet and panels are already in! It looks nice. How difficult was it fitting the carpet?

Ripping out the old was a PITA. The center console was the most difficult to re-carpet because it was 3 separate pieces plus I needed to repair 2 cracks. Other than that not too bad. VERY time consuming.

How much does this cost? Did you have to purchase a new dash or was the dash already black?

Looks way better in black! Nice work.

Hmm...

All the carpet and vinyl pieces was ~$1200

The dash was already black. See the link in my signature for pictures of the car when I purchased.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

I did the rear of my car when I took the rear seats out and did the RSA storage bin and carpet. I was amaized how strong and messy the factory glue is. You think the carpet is a PITA imagine taking the sound proofing out and removing all that glue from the body! I did the rear bulk head and I could not believe how hard that glue is to get off!

Wow, that looks great! It's like a new car!

When all that's ripped out... that's the time to weld in that roll cage and harness mounts - you know you'll be tracking it soon!!
