How are they better? Color change? Are yours messed up? I don't think it's worth it. You can do some custom interior work for that much.

Depends where you want to spend your money. These interiors are hard to find locally for me so anyone that has one can ask whatever for it. I have a tan interior and would like to convert it to black also but i cant justify the cost when my interior is damn near perfect. To each there own tho. Justify it if you really want it done and if not then deal with what you have.

No--there's no significant changes.

Check these guys out:

leatherseats.com

They have inserts for doors. I havent seen them in person but the site has them listed. I thought/am thinking about a color change from black to something like the 3IS Flaxen color.
