Anyone changed their interior completely ?
I really REALLY like the SC430 red seats with the blackwood. It goes so well with black exterior. I know there are a lot of crazy people on here(mean it in a good way) that would/could/have done it already. Heck if people can spend 10k-20k on stereo what does a few more $$ matter right?
The only way I can possibly even remotely come close to to doing this without getting divorce papers from my wife is..
1) By luck(i mean extreme luck) find a wrecked SC430 in a junk yard that SO HAPPENED to have the red interior/blackwood and pay a fraction of what it would cost me from a dealer.
2) Find someone who has this combo and willing to trade with my ecru + money on top for labor/hassle etc. * i really doubt this but I can dream can't I!*
I am suspecting if I get everything new from the dealer it would cost me 5k-7k?

Much, much more. Heck, just four new headrests, on a good day, will set you back nearly $2,000 alone; and the dealer list is over $3,000. The front two seats will cost the same and we haven't touched the back seat, console or doors yet. I'll guess it'll be closer to $13,000 new for parts with good prices.

IMHO I think you should look for the red interior SC, buy it and sell your ecru int one (or trade). It will end up being cheaper and less of a in and out of the shop hassle in the long run, even if you have to pay more for the new SC.
Now let's say you wanted to do a color or style different from stock like Ice's center inserts or Turboo's then start up saving LOTS of $$$$$ :-D.
It scares me to think about how much a total car modification like Ice's costs. Ice, I don't want to know!

Ice's car is out of my league man !
Your idea of find a black/red sc430 and just buying that then sell mine is a good idea.
Btw, whose that car with the black/red seats ? Is he on this forum?

just change the color. period. dont look for a wrecked car, etc. companies like katzkin etc you can call reps and get a nice kit for 1000. its an easy replacement and you can actually do it yourself. the zippers in the back allow you to easily remove and replace.
then REMEMBER, you can sell your old leather to someone... like you... for about what you spent in custom leather or maybe more. check out my car, you have no idea how much was free because of me selling my exisiting parts. speakers, head unit, amp, original wheels and tires, etc etc etc...
consider it

Yes, at least he was at some point. His car has a awesome paint job (my husband disagrees ). He (Turboo) posts a bunch of pics in Scdroptops fantastic tread about the Special Edition SCs.

I found my interior is just great & I will never modify it. I was sold by the sc430 interior than the exterior.
I don't find that SC with the black & red looks good at all.......can't find any luxury in it. Maybe its only me that don't like that black-red interior & two tone exterior
