Heres pictures. I just shampooed the carpet so it looks really light but I assure you, its ebony. The panels are dirty but there... Got all this for 300 bucks, all mint.

I need 1 single speaker cover for the rear passenger side speaker. I'm talking about the speaker in the hatch area. BTW your car will be awesome with the ebony interior over the ugly tan!

^ yea I bought it for free though, I needed it, just gotta go pick it up.. ^

Um, heres the story of this car's int I guess... Killing some time

Started off as gay tan, basic, boring, haggerd *** headliner and a bad driverside seat..




Gay right?

Then I bought new seats, and painted all my door panels and such, it looked decent at first I Guess, I had planned to re-do my headliner myself and then get black carpet as well as finish painting all the other peices.




It looked decent and got me through the end of hte car season..The paint just didnt hold up. If I would have prepped better it would have helped, but I just have to face it that Im too hard on my car for painted peices. Im usually hauling 4 people around, have had 4 girls in the back seat once, carry things with sharp edges, just couldnt keep the paint from getting scratched... That, and my door panal fell apart pushed me over the edge, heres how it ended up..




So I got to work..
