Default Interior coversion from Tan to Black

Most the parts were a collection from several different cars, its not done completely done but nothing ever is I imagine. I still have some plans in the way of the sound system, buts thats another project for another day. Up next will be a Firehawk hood and air box and of course getting the nitrous working. This all wouldn't been possible with out the help of some friends like Joe who helped me get these seats and my buddy Ovidu who was there lending a hand the entire way.

Parts Changed:

2000 Steering wheel
2000 Console (Thanks Raf)
All Graphite interior panels
Graphite Black Carpet
Black Sun visors
Head liner Recovered to black
Graphite TA Leather door Panels
Black Leather Firehawk seats (care of Mike at Icon and Dave Lewis)
97+ Cluster Bezel

Stock Tan Interior, circa 2000



New Pics







Cleaned the paint up with some Scratch X

I'm surprised, I honestly like the tan with the red and normally I don't cause its usually with my color car and a few others. Ebony looks good as well though.

I wish I had a black interior but that is the same reason I won't get rid of mine. You very rarely see LT1 F-Bodies with tan leather.

Head liner comes out really easy, take the front pillars off, sun visors, rear lamp and the back sails and it falls out. The carpet is a pain, you have to take the interior all out, console, seats, all the interior plastic, bottom bolt for the seat belts and then it comes out. For the most part look for some one parting a car and try to get it all at once. Other wise you have to buy it bits and peaces here and there.
