Basically, my car has a graphite interior and I've had thoughts of making it ebony before. How big of a pain in the *** would this be?

it's not hard just tracking down all the parts takes a while or you can wrap them in vinyl..I'm doing the same thing, seats and door panels and I'm done

Not hard and well worth it. Mine was grey and I switched to ebony. DO IT ALL THOUGH. Dash included. Yeah, it is a PITA but it doesn't take more than an afternoon and you'll enjoy it the life of the car...

I think you guys have convinced me. It won't be done now or any time soon because there's too many other priorities. But eventually I will need to basically strip the interior anyway for new carpet, a roll bar, and possibly some sound deadening stuff. Probably look for a car that's being parted out around then for all the parts.

How hard is it to take the dashboard out? That seems like the only real big PITA thing to me.

yeah it isn't hard at all and you may find some interesting things with the interior stripped

duplicolor vinyl and upholstery paint in flat black looks good on the plastics and even the vinyl on the door panels. look for a thread by devildougws6.

Like they all said, not hard. Don't even have to remove the steering wheel. Pull the a-pillars, pull the dash pad, pull the center console and then work the edges finding the bolts.

Just takes time disconnecting the wires and then wiggling the beast out and getting the other one in.

Again, I did it in an afternoon without any real experience on it... I take that back, I've pulled a few stripping cars an did a 1993-1996 conversion to a 1997+... Anyways, just do it

I just did my interior swap on mine going from light grey cloth to a full leather graphite interior. Front start to finish i think it was about 6hrs which is a little on the speedy side but i had an idea of how everything came apart seeing as i pulled the new interior from the parts car the week beofre to know how everything comes apart and goes together. Make sure you have all you the pieces needed to do the swap and take you time! Dont rush and end up breaking something.

I buddy of mine that was restoring a GTO had a petrified mouse fall out when he pulled the vinyl top and my dad found a ***** in his 78 Trans Am, so I can imagine

Yeah I think I probably will.

six hours? damn dude, LOL. I'll definitely be taking my time if i do it. I learned my lesson when i messed up one of the screw holes putting my center console back together because I got in too much of a hurry and put one of the big screws where a small one was supposed to go. It creaks now and it pisses me off!

Now this right here is premium. Thanks, dude!
