Talking interior color change (?)

do any of you guys with tan interiors ever swap the full interior to black?
(the front/rear seats/doorpanels/dashboard/headliner/floor carpet etc etc...)
if so, how is that done?... does an upholstery shop of somesort dye/wrap everything black? or do u literally swap everything out for black interior?

im a noob yes i am!

It is really something that you make the decision on. You can dye it or swap it. That simple. It isn't that hard to do to swap and to dye the seats i would assume to be time consuming.

There are a few people on CL that have done both of these so i am sure someone will reply to this thread.

Like what the others say, you have different options. I personally am against dying because of the wear/fading and staining on clothing. I on the other hand decided to do it once and do it right. I reupholstered the entire interior from head to toe to something fresh and new. With reupholstering, you have a million options to what you want to do. You pay $$$, but the results are worth it.

theres always the possibility of cutting corners and buying black seats or panels n such, but just for the sake of conversation... lets just say i were to re-upholster the full interior... head to toe
would u be able to give an estimate price that is worth paying or should be paid or that it would cost to re-upholster the whole interior?

It depends on what materials you are asking for. Usually it costs around $1300-2000 depending on your materials

that black tan interior combo looks really nice. I think i might do that instead of full black.
