"Ivory" Interior

[kez07]

I just bought a 2007 LX Taffeta White Sedan and I love it to death! The white exterior is absolutely beautiful. My only problem (and it's a HUGE one) is that I absolutely HATE the ivory interior! I know it's entirely my fault for only looking at a little fabric swatch of it because I only had seen the grey interiors (which was the one I test drove). I didn't realize that it was going to be that hideous!!!!!!!!!!! I assumed (which I will never do again!) that it would just be a normal beige color. Not an ugly bright dirty looking yellowish- grayish mixture of complete ugliness! I really can’t handle the yellowish color on the plastics and how they contrast so grossly with the nice gray dash. If I would have known this, I definitely would have gone with a different color that comes with the gray interior.

Oh how I wish the T-White only came w/ the gray (or better yet, black.....that would look so nice)!

I’ve only had the car since Tuseday night, but the interior is just bugging me to death. Other then that, I absolutely adore everything else about the car. I feel like I’m just seriously up a creek without a paddle now for being a total dumbass and not doing adequate research on the interior colors ( I mean I researched everything else to death, I guess this was just the one point I kind of left out).

What should I do now? Do you guys have any suggestions? I love the white exterior, and I guess you can’t just “exchange” a brand new car…….can you? And what are your thoughts on interior conversions and how much do they generally cost? Do you think I just hafta get used to it, and maybe it’ll grow on me?

And honestly (it really won’t insult me) what are your true feelings on this so called “ivory” interior?

I have T-white with tan too, and I agree that the tan is pretty bad. I just try to keep my mind off of it and just enjoy the nice blue dashboard until you get used to the tan. It will take about 2 weeks but you'll be fine.

Well, you can trade it in for the gray interior, but then you'd have to choose another exterior color and lose a grand or two on the trade, OR you could possibly pay a grand or two to have the interior custom done with leather trim of your color choice.

To be 100% honest, I hate that color interior. If I were to get any civic besides and Si, I would make sure that color had at least gray interior. idk what it is but i dispise that "ivory" interior , but on the bright side you have and awsome car, and you could have the interior redone. I honestly have no idea how much it would run you, Im guessing between 500 and a thousand? sumwhere around there. Good luck to you tho, and congrads on the new car, even tho you hate the interior lol.

i have the ivory interior in my nighthawk black pearl coupe, only color interior offered. I HATE IT SOOOO MUCH!!!!!

[arniecartoons]

Yeah, the ivory is a little bit much if you ask me- I usually like ivory (in contrast to black interiors which seem dreary to me); but this ivory is too yellow, just like you said.
I have grey in my Atomic Blue sedan I just picked up and it is really nice- but I think the ivory will probably grow on you a little.
It does say something though that Honda is now making the black with grey interiors in the 07s while the 06s had ivory- I think Honda might have an idea that it's not the most popular of interiors.
Still, though, you have a wonderful car- so try to not let it bother ya.

The panels are actually what bug me the most because they're really bright. But that's a good idea. Leather would look awesome. I guess they'd hafta dye the ceiling too. Does anyone have any clue how much this would cost me.........and does anyone know where to do to get it done? (in NY)

[Special Ringpop]

I don't do beige interior on ANY car.

[wannapar3]

Start searching the Bone yards for wrecked EX's with Black interiors.
Buy up the parts cheap.

Well if you don't like the ivory interior; don't take that car and start whining at the forum about it. (I own a Royal Blue Pearl Civic EX with an ivory interior (Only offered in 2006 model; so i consider it quite exclusive :))

I think its okay; a bit dislike that color since it gets dirty quite easy.. But other than that, I got nothing against it. In my opinion, that color makes your car more lively and makes an impression that your car slightly roomier (don't ask me why)...
