How hard is an interior swap?
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?

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.

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.
