Default 97 Comp TA Interior

I will probably never sell my Comp TA, and I was kind of tossing around the idea converting over to the Darker Interior. What do you guys think? I would of course replace, carpet, dash..ect..ect. I just can not decide on if I want to do it or not. Right now its the lighter grey with silver accents..Radio Bezzel, Vent Rings and the door cups were the open handle is. If I do not convert I am just going to replace the carpet and put some Corbeau Racing Seats in.

You can always wrap the interior. That's what I'm doing. Plus you get rip of the cheap plastic feel. I mean if you plan on keeping the car for a long time, might as well make it look and feel better.

Well yeah, thats why im not so sure about wrapping it. But I would like to keep the car for as long as I can. Ill probably have it well into my 50's im only 26 right now. It ws just an idea I was tossing around.

EDIT: Sigh, mybe ill just have to buy another bird. To tell the truth I did not realize what I was getting into with a Comp TA until after I had already payed for it.

Change out the interior and keep the original interior. If you're gonna keep the car changing the interior color will not hurt its show value. If you decide to sell it later down the road, you can reinstall the original interior for value sake. Its your's, make it like you want. JMO.

Thats kinda of what I was thinking, I was just going to save the orginal interior. Should I decide to keep the stock interior color the way it is. I still want to put some corbeau CR1 Leather seats in it. Do you think black seats would look out of place with the grey interior or should I go with the Grey?
