Seats look awesome, brother.

And I like the all black conversion- I've just owned one too many dark interiors in the South. There's absolutely nothing worse than burning the backs of your legs in the summer because you're wearing shorts and sit down in a leather chair that feels like fire.

Thanks man! It was considerably hotter when the conversion happened and it's only gonna get worse when the glassed pieces are in. My wife has a black/black Camry SE V6 so i'm used to heat. At least my A/C is ICE cold though.

The bezel was actually just painted at the bodyshop with the wood trim. Definately looks cleaner without the Audio ****!

First I was like; is the fake wood trim what you did to your interior? Then I was like; oh okay, swapped to black. Then again I was like; what you're getting the leather parts glassed and painted? Now I was like; why'd you have to swap to a black interior if you're getting them reupholstered and painted? And really? Painted over leather?

Now I'm just praying you know what you're doing...

Lol..let me break it down for you

1. Two-Tone(got bored of it)
2. 1999 Black Interior Conversion(love the black but wanna try something different)
3. Took off the fake wood trim
4. Glassed all the old interior pieces(glassing black trim pices black is stupid)
5. Waiting for the bodyshop to finish painting all the glassed pieces(slowly but surely)
6. Glass the center portion of the doors between wood and armrest section.
7. Glass rear quarter armrests.
8. ?
