I know I can order carpet and I was plaing on getting black seats from corbeau and getting rid of the back seat for a custom sound system. But what about the rest of the interior panels and dash. I hear that interior paint is very unreliable and basically starts to chip immediately. I was wondering if there is a company that sells black interior parts or is this basically a luck of the draw junk yard opperation? Or is there someone out there that will reapholster all of my interior pieces black?
