Back when I was looking for my Camaro I wanted black leather, but I found exactly what I was looking for (even a hardtop ) except for the tan leather. I have even thought about swapping to black too, but it seems like a lot of work and $ that could be better spent on other things. I couldn't really complain though and the tan interior is growing on me. Just my $.02.

Just keep it, the tan/black two-tone looks much better then all black IMO, plus it's different.

I swapped mine from grey/tan to ebony/pacific blue.

I had to replace:
Dash
Steering Wheel
Door Panels
All interior panels
console
seat belts
headliner
carpet

That sums up most of it. Pretty easy to do if you have all the parts.

to answer your question, carpet, mats, complete door pannels, i belive the plastic that runs along each door sill and goes up to where the hood latch release is, the headliner, the plastic that goes from the back of the door, to the back of the hatch, and a peice on the hatch.

if the car is everything else you want, and a deal, buy it, i bet the beige will grow on you, most cars have ebony or grey, who knows, you might actualy like it. but if not, id say it could be done for $1000... and its not that hard to do, and in addition you would have all the parts left over to sell.. personaly i dont like my interior, its just one big ebony hole, the tan interiors look nice imo..

I have the ebony interior. I'm down in Yuma, AZ. Unfortunatly I cant leave the state. But if you get the car and want to trade. I have a shop to our avail and we could do the swap if you really want too. The only thing I think would be a PITA is the carpet. My leather is in excellent shape, front seats get cleaned and conditioned every week and I removed the back seats since I've had the car. So there definatly very good. Let me know.

Its easy to do however it can be pricey unless you find someone who just wants to swap.

Its not your car. Its mine. Anyways, you shouldnt even be around the F-body realm, every time you go and buy one. You just turn around and sell it 2months later for another damn Honda. Bah..go away.

If you want to swap, "if" you get the car. Let me know. I'm willing to do it. Like I said I cant leave the state. But have access to a shop.
