Want to change interior to black and red

I'm way too sick of my boring brownish interior




I want to convert it to something like this,






or
maybe just convert everyting to black leather and flooring.


is there anyway???? I was thinking of buying a black leather dye and just wiping down the seats and all, but then there is the problem of the dashboards.

You are probably way better off just trading your car in for one with an OEM graphite interior

Dyeing the leather I think will not turn out as you expect. Good luck with that one though

A professional can actually do a pretty good job. I'm actually trained but don't do it anymore. Trouble is it won't last like factory dying.

In any case it's not worth it.

I'm sure a pro could do a decent job, i was just going off of this statement

I would think that would lead to an uneven coating

finding a salvaged one that you can take the dash, carpet center consel out of would prob be best, you can always get your seats re-upholstered.

or maybe a black suede over your dash....

maybe i'm in way over my head.....



I wonder how much it'll cost to change everything to black. I'm gonna call the dealer later on. maybe i can buy all the parts and have them just do the seats and the cartpet and, as well as the roof.



i can probably install all the dashboard parts once i can find a salvaged g35.
