Going back to tan interior from black?
Guys,
As some of u may know - my car was a tan interior that was for some ungodly reason turned into a somewhat black. Now don't get me wrong - i love black - but not when it looks like crap - which mine does.
Do u think it would be too difficult to go back to tan - ie redying etc? What about a tutone - tan and black (for the parts I can't fix)??
Actually, I am just hoping my car catches on fire!!!
Lemme know what u think,
Jonny

wait you dyed your interior??
That is a huge no no.
you might be better off going to a custom upholstery shop to have it redone. You get to choose whatever color you want and saves you some headache. If you are willing to ship your interior over to California, I have a great shop that specializes in custom upholstery. They will get your interior back to you within a week.

They get a lot of customers out of state and from the east coast that either drive or ship their interiors over to them.
check out www.kreativeinterior.com or call them at 626-288-0565 and ask for Hung. They are very close friends of mine and have done interior on my show car 4 times. If you call them, make sure that you tell them that Geoff Chen from illmatic referred you and that i said to give you a good price. I guaruntee that you will like their work and pricing.
they are going to do my SC300 soon as well.

Well, im sure there is a lot of stores that can redo the interior to stock looking. But I did mine myself because i was low on funds, and wanted to do some DIY work , it gives me time to familiarize the car some more, ehehehhe.......... and to Vssc400, i followed the thread and used the RIT dye. i used around 4 botlles at 3 dollars a bottle. so redoin my carpet only cost me 15 dollars, and some elbow grease
