Interior question
ive never done it before, but my friend has. Changing out the door panels, seats, carpet, console, and others is a pretty straight forward bolt on or screw off. Taking off the dash though could be a little hassel and the steering wheel column. Ask aliga i beleive he still has some black interior parts available and could explain to you in deeper depth on how to install the pieces. Good Luck
from 1 to 10 as 10 hardest, i say 6/10...
Only course, doors panels and seats are the easiest. I think your issue will be the dashboard, and airbags depending your year of the car and the year of the part you got it off too. It would def take more than a day especially if u don't know or exploring how it strip it. I would strip everything first, then start from the top of the car first, put the carpet in then the rear and work yourself up to the front

Here are some pics of my car after using SEM dye for all the black pieces. Came out great and this was done last year and still looking as good as the day I had it done. It's all in the prep work as well as putting light, even coats and you will be set.
what is it exactly and where can I find some.
I assume it is a leather friendly spray paint of sorts--------please let me know
I saw someone do their steering wheel and it looked great.

You can purchase SEM just about anywhere. Just type in SEM paint in google and it will come up with several online shops who sell it. Heck even ebay has it and you can purchase several cans at a time.

It doesnt matter how well you paint it tho, my friend had his whole car dyed. It was good for the first two years, but after a while, it started fading, it looked stupid afterwards. It's always better to get OEM interior, you know it will last.
People will tell you SEM holds and its been a year and its still good, give it some more time, fact is, there is no dye that is good enough to outlast OEM materials. So if you're going to make the effort on taking everything off anyways, get it done right the first time.
