Interior swap? This may be a dumb question, and my search isint working, but I want to change the entire interior of a 93 Trans-Am from tan to black. I dont want to paint any panels and I am wondering if I can swap interior pieces (like plastic trim and door panels, etc.) from an ebony interior, later modeled Trans Am. Will this swap work?
any interiors between any 93+ camaro and firebird is exchangeable. Why dont you want to paint? If done correctly with proper paints it can look just as good and even protect from uv. You should consider all options cause nothing changed in the interior other than the console and shifter and the guages in 97+ have bezels but you can get them at procarparts.com for 20bux

very true but if you use a clear coat you cant even notice it. Plus if you scratch plastic its just as noticeable and a lot more permantent. Would you rather buff out and sand plastic? or just sand and repaint?if you do it proper ly i mean sand degrease prime paint and clear it will really last. Im not talking a $5 can from autozone

I've always wanted a black interior in my black t/a instead of the gray, but I have a feeling it would cost a TON after all is said and done because in addition to the panels you have to worry about the headliner, the seats, etc.

I have a 69 Mach 1 that was a complete basket case and missing the entire interior. When it was time to do a resto i found a complete set of interior panels in red and my car needed black interior. So i read an article in car craft and bought all the products they used. I hand washed everything with soap then dried them. I used the special cleaners they recommended and adhesion promoters as well. I then painted it with very high dollar paint, from a paint gun with flex agent in it as well. The stuff looked awesome but it scratches very easy. Hell scratches just appear in the stuff i don't even know how they got there. The same goes for all the rattle can jobs i've done and seen done.
