Default My new black interior :) !

Merry Christmas guys....

Well, I finally have my interior presentable and I'm pretty proud of it, so I thought I'd post some pics I still have to do the headliner....I might do it in black suede!

Well here they are...I used a combination of black leather dye / vinyle dye and black flexible paint for plastic surfaces...yes, I've stumbled on a good bit of not-so-real leather in the 'ol Lex!! Either way, turned out pretty good and I daily drive it with no signs of wear or other dye coming off, etc.

Any feedback / tips are appreciated.

Jay

Next steps for me:

1) wrapping the wood trim on the dash / doors in carbon fiber - doing that in the next few weeks
2) headliner - black suede
3) Got a set of Gunmetal / polished 18s
4) Strap on the baby 57mm turbo I have sitting in my garage!

I'd say leave the wood alone! It looks fantastic like that!

Keep up the good work!

Looks Great Bro, What Product Did you Use? Did you always Have Black Carpet? Or did you Dye It Too? So you took out the Dash RIGHT?

That's quite a change. It looks great

I ended up doing this on one of my SC's that was half done by the IDIOT I bought it from. I hated doing it.

Looks awesome Jay!

Great job -- interior swaps aren't easy. They take more patience than I have... I just end up getting annoyed and forcing it, breaking clips and causing havoc!

I don't think he did an interior swap John...that's a nice dye job Jay!

I'd paint the radio trim black and get a black eBrake and it'll look

FYI: I have OEM black interior and the headliner is gray.
