lol, is it just me or doesn't it seem like it would have been easier to swap the exterior parts of the green SC onto the black on black one. a little paint and then you would have had a really clean black on black 5spd. and its a 95 too.

good work though, looks excellent A++

^^^^Like sherwin said above, that would have been alot harder considering whats already done to the green car.. and i would have to pay for paint etc etc. This was free, just my time.

Super pain in the *** process especially when you doing 2 complete cars, buts its well worth it. If anyone has any questions how to remove interior pieces I am now a pro haha
Nice work.

I have to agree, I was doing the same thing between 2 Q45's and "turned back". I had the black interior out except the carpet, drivers seat and dash ... and gave up .

I wish I had done it every time I get in the Q with a tan interior .

Brandon would be proud. It's a shame I didn't buy the car from him. It's in good hands and has come a long way. I can't wait to see what is next for it. And people say that the DC/ Metropolitan area is full of ricers.

man when i seen the shots of the stripped out interior it brought back memories, can't believe you went through all of that, but man that black interior is sweet.
