still need to get new door panels, seats, and carpet. See how it looks 2-toned, but i will probably go all black.

i hated putting it all back together....

I like the sticker on the bottom left of your rear windshield.

Wow cloth interior on an SC, or I guess its a Soarer for you. That's pretty much impossible to find here in the states. Ever thought about going to leather?

BTW, how good did the paint come out? I ask because back when I owned a Corolla, I tried converting it to black interior via paint and it came out pretty bad. I ended up wasting a good amount of money and time. I hope the same didn't happen to you.

came out pretty decent....cleaned all surfaces with rubbing alcohol....surprised how much stuff actually came off haha.

my car originally was a cloth 5spd hardtop, but guy before me put in a sunroof. I plan on getting black leather seats.

I wish my car didn't have a moonroof. It serves little purpose for me. High center of gravity and 60+ lbs of extra weight. I don't use it much, and it creates a lot of wind noise on the highways. Real sports cars are moonroof-less for all these reasons.

I dont think painting the interior is the smartest thing to do just because it rubs off no matter what people say. The parts that you barely touch will stay black, but the parts you touch will rub off and you'll have to repaint..... repaint... and repaint. id save the time and money and buy black interior

Not if you use folia-tec and seal it properly. I've been rubbing on my armrest for months now and I have seen no sign of it coming off. I can even scratch at it and the paint won't come off. Plus, I did my shift **** and e-brake too, use it everyday, no problems what so ever. It all really depends on the paint you're using and the sealant.
