Changing Interior Question
Has anyone changed their interior color? Was it a big hassle? How much did you pay? Can any Automotive Upholstery Shop do the job, and do it right without breaking the Bank?
Example: Red interior changed to brown interior. Seats, carpet, back areas, side areas, floor mats, etc. Thanks in Advance

Re: Changing Interior Question
I did that last year. Went from Black to Cognac using existing vehicle interior. Also did custom seat covers w new foam. You can start reading here.

Re: Changing Interior Question
You can do a few ways easiest find a donor car or interior out of one. Buy new door panels seat covers and carpet die the hard plastic parts, or a combination of both ways. I'm sure others that have done it will chime in.

Re: Changing Interior Question
How many of you have the bright RED interiors, and if you had any reservations, did the color grow on you?

They both grow on you. I have black floor mats and a black cargo mat in the torch red. Changing the entire interior is sporty and costly plus aggravating. Ted |

Re: Changing Interior Question
What year? 94 and later is easier than earlier.. Mainly because of the dash pad..
It is easy to do.. Just time consuming. I had flame red (offered until 92) in my 89 I did torch red in my 90 BTW bright red was the exterior color not interior

Re: Changing Interior Question
I love the Flame Red in my 91 but wasn't sure how I'd feel about it when I bought the car. My first Corvette was an 80 with red interior and I hated it.

Re: Changing Interior Question
The flame red with a whole car is good, but I thought it was not enough on my black car..
So I did the torch red in the 90
