ummm, I am not exactly sure of the name right now. I am at work. But I can say that it's not a high gloss black and it's not flat black. It has a kind of shine to it that makes it look just like a stock black part....I guess it's a semi-gloss black. I'll check the name for sure tonight for you though.

Yeah, I wish I could've found one with black interior.....but they're so hard to come by where I am from. It's such a pain the a$$ to repaint everything and stuff, but it's a heck of a lot more cost efficient then trying to buy all the parts in black.....that would be nuts!

Can't wait to see it totally finished, I was debating on buying a black interior or dying my tan interior with the top half black and the bottom half grey. Subscribed.

WOW, I've got to hand it to you, I started to swap the black and tan interiors between to Q45's and got to the dash and decided it was too much work. Luckily, the SC I bought had a well cared for black interior. I must say it was a deal maker for me.

looks great so far.
i wanted to do this on my mr2, but debated constantly whether to spend $400-600 on black parts, or spend $80 for paint.
Needless to say, if i ever get bored and want a black interior on my sc400, i will do this.
keep up good work and i'm going to subscribe so i can see end results. Please tell me you took before and after

Hmmm, I'll definitely do the SEM stuff on the carpet before trying to source out brand new carpet. As for the Folia-Tec, I got it for a discount of $13 from my friend who sells it at his shop, so that's not too bad. $11 plus tax is pretty close to $13 even anyways.

The headliner and all the stuff above the dash I am going to keep tan. I noticed that on all the cars with stock black interior, they have a light color (gray or tan) for the headliner and any parts above the dashboard and door panels.
As for the buttons, I am going to figure out a way to make it black and retain the symbols. Haven't gotten there yet, but I am sure I can find a nice solution.

Yeah that is how my Twin Turbo Dodge Stealth is too. Black leather all around, and a tan headliner. Looks pretty good though. Best of luck with your project hope it all comes out the way you want it to.
