Added the pre-97 duckbill/lay down spoiler on 4/7/12. To me it flows better with the body so it's off with the old & in with the new & I'll be getting the carbon fiber roof spoiler soon to go along with it

Started on the DIY black interior conversion but "not completely done yet"...so far so good. It takes patience & good cleaning. I used alcohol to deep clean the interior and fabric.

Looks good.

Over spray on the wood and your carpet isn't full black i can still see tan on the last picture.

You have a ISx50 wheel btw.

I've been contemplating on "painting/dyeing" my interior black for some time now. Until my buddy recently bought an SC to do an interior swap thinking it was OEM black, and it obviously wasn't. The dye, or whatever, feel so tacky and rough compared to the untouched leather. I don't see why people still do this. I think this lessens your cars' resale value a lot for a well experienced buyer.

It depends on how you do it. I wiped down the interior with alcohol then waited two hours for it to dry & proceeded with dye. I'm going over it again tomorrow for a finish then I'll wet sand it with 2000 grit sand paper to get the rough areas out. After that it's vacuum & Armor All time
