Interesting. So, you painted the carpet, door panels and even the dash? Pretty ballsy move. Don't think I'd feel comfortable doing that.
Yup. And that's why you must not get caught up in auction fever. Always have to keep in mind that it'll be worse than in the pics. Sometimes it's not, but better safe than sorry.

What did you use to paint the interior black? I have the light interior this car originally had and it looks pretty sharp once you had it all done. Made the seats pop.
I like the way the lighter colored interior looks, but I definitely prefer black. If painting it like you did isn't terribly difficult, I'd be interested in doing that to my car. If it will last and not throw off the feel of the different surfaces.

Thanks! Love it. I want to manual swap it....maybe soon.
