Hey all, Just curious if anyone changed their tan interior to all black? Mine is pretty stained up and tan is ugly to me quite frankly. I know the easiest way would be to find a totaled ctsv and take the interior out but I am currently stationed overseas so that is impossible for seats ect. Are their any company's that sell black carpet and all interior pieces I need or am I pretty much SOL? Thanks for any help!

Katzkins might have seat covers.

I've got a nice set of black rear seats (back and bench) from an '05, but it's in the Detroit area, not "overseas."

Well ****, I kind of figured I would be sol... Has anyone ever tried paining the plastic interior pieces? any idea on how much the back seat weighs?

The back seats are pretty damn light really and I've died plastic in the past with mixed results. Wouldn't recommend it unless you find someone who does it professionally and has a good track record with it.

You know of course that standard CTS stuff will work in your V although the seats are a little different.

The back seat bottom is light, but the seat backs are very heavy. There is a steel structure in the back of them.

OP, I would start with the carpet given your situation. It won't clash too badly with the tan seats and should be easier to find separate from a full set of seats. I would imagine the stained carpet is in the worst shape. That tan carpet doesn't wear well over time.

If you can't find the carpet, some darker floor mats should help in a pinch. I scored a set of OEM charcoal mats for ~$70 on ebay a while back.

Well I just spent a good 2 hours scrubbing the front carpet. Surprisingly I got most of the stains out, I think I burnt about 5000 calories doing it. I think you may be right bud, I should be able to get away with some floor mats and it will look good.

I didn't know a standard cts had all the same interior pieces...that will make my search easier I'm sure. I appreciate all the help!!

Pull the carpet out, and go to a bubble brush and just use the rinse....works awesome.

Try Adams Polish interior cleaners.

Will work wonders for your carpet. Honestly, really well cleaned and kept-up tan carpet looks phenomenal. If you clean it well and keep it looking good you'll come to appreciate it a lot more. (To me it looks better cleaned than the darker interior)

This is their interior kit, does wonders with a little elbow grease -
