I don't know what would be better for me if I were in that situation.
1. Just keep what I have and learn my lesson
2. spend tons of cash to get it the way I want it/go through all the hassle
3. trade my car for same year or newer and in black
What would you guys do. Maybe this helps our boddy here
Good luck

PLEASE
No paiting
No dash cover
No seat covers
PLEASE
Paint will eventually fade away. Seat covers conceals the luxury of your leather. If you have ventilated/heated seats, good bye to that. Must get the right seat covers so it does not interfere with air bags.
If you could afford it, trade in your car for what you really want. Let's say, "$5k difference." Compared to about $3 or maybe $4k you will spend in replacing all the parts in black.

I had a black interior with the tan headliner and did the swap about 4 months ago. It cost me $750 shipped off eBay for the headliner and pillars and visors and an additional $200 on the dome lights. I got lucky and found those in a set on eBay and it was cheaper to buy the handles and coat hooks off lexuspartsnow.com. Each handle is like $35. If you don't find on eBay it might be best to talk to businesses on car-part.com. Oh and also I had to replace the windshield ($150) because I didn't want to bend the headliner. Good luck!

Ok, so I have an 06 350, black with tan interior. I've had it for some time now (like 3 years) but I want to get black interior. Are there any tips that anyone has to help me out like....
*Where can I get the black interior? Swap on this site? Junk Yards? Insurance companies?
*How much should I offer for it? I am willing to swap and add cash.
*I have vented seats, did all the 2is come with it or do I have to swap for vented seats?
Thanks everyone for your help and if you just so happen to want swap your interior with mine, PM me.

kinda off tangent but I am installing racing seats in my car soon. I will have two black leather vented seats (I have seat warmers/coolers) for sale. Excellent condition and I just recently leather conditioned my whole car.
