any opinions,suggestions?...
anyone want to swap interiors?...my interior is mint!(seats..front and rear...armrest and door armrests)
my seats have black stitching and are perforated.... tell me what you think guys, any opinions are appreciated.
i think this interior change will give it a much more classic and tasteful appearance.

i think the main reason the brown interiour looks sweet is the photography, and use of colour saturation...
If you have seen factory pics of your tan interiour, it looks just as good

D, since u probably spent a grip to get those seats done, you should probably just keep those and do something custom to them like colored inserts, suede, piping, stiching or somethin like that.
I like that baseball glove leather, but the tanning would probably cost a fortune!!

and that won't be easy OR cheap.
I am almost done with my full black interior conversion. I am just awaiting the carbon fiber wood replacement panels from Emerald so I can put my dash back on

I guess it could cost anywhere from $1000-whatever. You could buy all brand new OEM parts that would be outrageous though. I just bought a smashed salvaged 95 and took it all out and replaced the tan. It wasn't that hard at all..

i'm trying to do the same thing turbo sc did for his coupe(swapping for a black interior). i'm not trying to make my interior like the sc430-just trying to give it more of a custom color.. the tan is just too common and too hard to keep clean(though not a problem) i think the black makes it stand out more... the leather of the seats will be removed and replaced by the new saddle color which i have seen on the new sc430,optional on the gs430 sportline and is also a color available on the mercedes benz and audi/ bmw interiors...looks hot!
it will also go very nicely with my converted lighting scheme for the interior(white leds on all buttons)
white led map lights,door lights,courtesy, and illuminated door sills(white led's)

Yo nextlevel, if you redo your interior, I'll buy your old seats from you and you can have my old seats. I think it might save both of us some money. My car was the loud green one at the meet.

You've got some great new upholstery, nextlevel. Perhaps you could find a place to redye those seats in the cognac color. I agree, the saddle (Lexus), cinammon (BMW), brick (Infiniti), baseball optic (Audi), etc. is an great color, especially if you did a black interior conversion for the rest of the cabin.
None of the replacement leather companies I looked at had that color in stock (I have an ES with black interior, and wanted to go to cognac upholstery, too). So custom is probably your only option right now. Good luck

i'm open for suggestions... i don't know what price ranges i would be working with.
im trying to locate a junk car or exchange with someone to keep the expense to a minimum.
