How are you doing the switch? Just finding parts from other cars and swapping them in mainly or are you fabricating these parts yourself? My car is a light grey and I want to convert everything to black. Just don't know the best way to go about it.

well when i first did the actual color change , i found some black vinyl and fabric dye , they have it at autozone , it actually works very well ...the only thing i will advise you not to do is if your headliner is vinyl dont use the dye on it because it chips off , i actually wrapped my liner in black fabric,opther than that it works fantastically....but now im getting more into show , so im fabricating almost everything myself , its goin pretty good i just need to develop enough patience to sand everything. , my car recently got broken into and the audio stuff was taken , so i actually relocated the climate control and cd player locations and that where im molding in the unit to harness a 7.2" monitor im debating fiberglassing over the door panels and molding gauges into my dash , thats why i posted up on here , i wasnt really sure how to answer ur question , but i hope i helped , as soon as i figure out how to get images on here i do have pics , if you have any other questions feel free to post

Yea, get carbon fiber plates and everything that's plastic now cover with it. And to really make the interior stand out switch all the fabric / vinyl / leather to a Chinchilla fur .

Amber for that JDM look eh? I already got my climate control amber, will buy the clock sometime in the future, I doubt there is a way to just switch the bulb on that.
