Default interior update -beige to Ebony!!

Well took me a long time to get this done! I started buying stuff from 2002-2005 as i found it on Ebay. and finally got the Arizen seats in the group buy on here about 2 years ago. All I have left is the dash and headliner to finish the conversion. I'm very happy and the car is starting to look good again

Looks good! I'm doing a tan/neutral to ebony conversion too!
How much was your carpet if you don't mind me asking? That's pretty much all I have left, carpet and I'm going to redo my headliner.

Looks great. I've never seen seats like that that mach close to factory. I'm screwed if I ever want to replace my seats (I got Camel interior and it's so rare) But I don't plan to go to anything BUT Camel if I do.

Carpet was $65 on Ebay. I got most of the stuff from Cleveland Auto Parts on ebay. I found they had the best as described quality and they really really pack their stuff nice. All my plastics made it to me in a lot of bubble wrap and plastic. Sometimes I paid a bit more, but I knew how they were after the beginning. My center console is a perfect example. I bought three on ebay and the one I got from Cleveland was by far the best one, it was practically brand new! And they sent me all the screws, attachments, etc...

They don't make the one I have anymore. They have this one now that they sent me a link for. I had a few comments I sent them after my install. Mainly about access to a nut to tighten the seat down and the seat belt guide, trying to move it away a bit. Both things nit picky.

The seats are unbelievable comfortable. I'm 6'3", 245. and they are low enough for me to see.

Agree, looks so much more classy with the dark interior. The polo green and dark interior is a really nice combo!
