WANTED: Grey interior

slicknick1 · 12-06-2008, 02:40 AM

I know this is such a random question/request but I have a black, two door coupe that has TAN INTERIOUR. I hate it. I want all grey so that I can do some carbon fiber and it would actually look right. I'm willing to trade, buy, whatever. Any takers? Suggestions?

good luck

That's one of my options but it wont solve all my problems. I very easily could sand down the grooves of all the plastic pieces and use and adhesion promoter to put an automotive paint finish on it. However, all my fabric: headliner, carpet, mats, seats, and rubbery parts of the doors and dash would still be off color.

I started working on the rears of both vehicles and had jason help me with the front. The result finally ended at 6:30pm, two cars were fully swapped with each other and everything is functional as it was prior to the swap. Mr. K20A's alarm didn't work due to a small connection of the antenna not plugged in.

Here are some pictures taken of the day of installation.

I think tan would look bomb in either red or white (civic). Maybe one of those owners will swap you... unless they alreayd come in that color...

EDIT: Looks like taffy already has the ivory option.

yea lol. And I want someone to come quick before I start drilling holes in a minute for all my car audio wires lol

Yeah, I dunno if you will have luck finding someone that will swap you...

You could always just buy another car

Just kidding

Good luck, it'll look a lot better with the darker interior

thanks for the encouragement. I needed more reason to pursue this mess.

To be quite honest, I kind of like tan interior. My PWP RSX-S had the light light color (tan maybe, grey... I don't know) leather interior and it looked great. I vote you stick with what you got instead of spending a lot of money to convert just so you can add cheap-o fake carbon fiber stuff...

That's just my opinion though.

^^^^^^

I will be fiberglassing with REAL carbon fiber. Not the vinyl sticker stuff. Epoxy resin, carbon fiber, sand, buff, the whole nine
