Don't tell me no one has done this becuase i know people have. I have seen it but i don't have couldn't gain any information from them. Would someone take 60 secons out of their live and reply.

 

yeah I went from a grey to black but didn't do the console it cost about 500 but I didn't have to do the carpet or head liner

nice...do you have any more pictures. I have a red interior and need to swap the headliner and the carpet. How much did you get the seats for and where did you get them, just a local junkyard?

 

yeah I got some more I got them from a local junk yard entire set for 200 I ll post some more pics and here is some more oh and the out side shots are at the stainless steel emblems

 

do you have any recomendations before i start? What to do and not to do?
Thanks

 

well i would look for the seats first, thats what I did, and then go to the junkyard for the plastic pieces and seatbelts and buy the carpet new and headliner if it isn't to much. Well your best bet would be do it all at once. It may take some time but it will be well worth it. When you go to start, start with the carpet because your going to have to pull everthing apart to to get to the carpet and so then you can replace everything at once. The reason I said you should get the seats first was because you might find a good deal on some seats that are another color or something like that. Well if you need any help just let me know, I'll try my best to help you out.

 

I just installed new carpet,seats,headliner,well everything.Few things to look for and note,keep track of all screws and where they came from,when you remove the carpet,put the screws and bolts back in for the seatbelts,and seats so you can just cut a small slit when you put the new carpet in and the bolt head will come threw.You dont have to cut the big holes for everything like the factory does.I left my old jute padding in for more sound dampning,if its old or wet take it out and just use what comes with the new carpet.You can re-paint all the screw heads black(looks good).Take your time ,this is a geat time to check,tighten and clean everything.I replaced everything(used seats and door panels)it took awhile but the it looks great,I dont know how to post pics.If anyone can for me let me know,I know I can e-mail them.hope this helps some.

Err... if you're selling red seatbelts n kick panels and the plastic thing that goes on the hatch I'm interested?

The seats aren't really hard at all to do... some people say bolt directly in, others say use your old tracks ... I'm not sure on the console though, I'd assume it'd be easier to do if you went full 4thgen dash, but it can't be TOO difficult

 

I agree with the above notes. Get as many parts as possible, begin at the bottom and work your way up. Work it so that you aren't taking everything out multiple times. Everything comes out to get the carpet in, so might as well start there. Do the headliner and seats last--seats are easy swap as long as you can get the color you want like dacuma said. Price depends on if you get it all from a yard or order it online. Gray isn't too hard to find, though, so you're in good shape. Expect $500-$700 unless you get lucky and find someone parting out a complete interior at once for cheap.
