[DML] Re: Replace/convert interior

["supermattthehero" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

Alex,

You likely won't be able to find many of the interior panels 
available (atleast, not cheaply) in black.  My suggestion would be 
to remove them and have them recovered in a matching vinyl, or 
recover them yourself.  I have done this and it turned out great.  
It also adds a fresh smell to the car which is much more desireable 
than the "old car smell" that my D had previously.  It's not 
difficult, but if you have never done something like this before, I 
would practice on something else first, like maybe an old chair, 
etc.  It's generally a messy job dealing with the contact cement, 
but well worth the results in my opinion.  Additionally, when you 
remove the panels, you will be able to use a heat gun/hair dryer to 
straighten out any of the plastic if it is warped.
