I did a search and couldn't really find what I'm looking for. My Trans Am has the charcoal interior. Given the look and paintjob my car has I really feel like the interior's color really really sucks. In fact I hate it. I do plan on doing some fiberglass work with a few things on the inside but nothing to crazy.

I'm going to get all the seats reupholstered and put in black carpet.... Is the factory ebony interior much darker than the charcoal?

I guess what I'm looking for is a side by side comparison of some interior pieces. If anybody can do this I would really appreciate it.

Completely different color.. much darker. I'd like to do the swap too, but don't feel like doing the dash swap at all. It's always easiest to do if you can find someone parting out their car and selling all of the interior panels and dash.

You don't have to swap the whole dash out. Just dye it, that's all GM did.

Not only much darker but different grey families . Charcoal is a cool grey( more of a blueish hue) and Ebony is a warm grey(yellow/brownish hue)

LoneGunman-GM didn't dye the dash or any interior panels.

Meckster- I just realized your car was 99. When you said charcoal I automatically assumed the LT1 years. Your charcoal( medium dark pewter) is substantially lighter than ebony, even more so than charcoal.

Ebony


Medium dark pewter from the 97-99's.

I'd like to see a side by side picture too. Or at least a good picture of a clean ebony to compare to mine.

The black T/A in that first pic. Nice touch with the vacuumed stripes on the floor mats. BUT!! You forgot to line up all the dash vents on a 45 degree angle...lol

FWIW 93-96 used Graphite, which was darker than the 97-99 charcoal

If anyone swaps I'm looking for a *mint* charcoal dash.

I personally like the charcoal, gives it more of an old-school hot-rod look. If I had ebony in my '99, it'd give the car a more modern look which isn't what I'm looking for. But... to each their own.

Duplicolor Stain/Flat Black for interior panels, dash, seats.

I'll keep it simple:
93-96: Graphite = Light Gray
97-99: Charcoal = Medium Gray
00-02: Ebony = Black

None of them are even close to each other when put side by side.

Hey, that looks familiar There is some good info in that pic...the shifter **** is actually ebony, compare it to the steering wheel and shifter boot which is black.
