Default Changing to an all black interior

I've got a 97 TA, but I think the same would apply to the later year birds. I ahve a gray interior now, and It's just too bland. So I want to swap out the entire interior to black pieces. I hate the thought of having painted panels, so I was wondering if there actualy true black panels (including dash) in any birds? Otherwise, If I had to paint it... Is it able to be done so that someone wouldn't be able to tell it was painted (including me, heh)...

Tahnks for the site... I ahve looked at them, but they don't have near all of the interior parts that I'd need. I was probably gonna et the carpet here tho.

I just don't think that would satisfy me cause I'd still have that blah grey crap. I do want to put in corbeau seats and autometer gauge replacement in the dash at te same time that I'm chagning the interior tho...

no prob, but i dont think there is anyway to paint it without you being able to tell it was painted. you can paint it and it will look good but not like you want, you want the whole factory black look and you will get a shiney black or painted look to the panels.
