The interior is burgundy.....fades to brown and green........Thats what mine looked like.......

I have a before and after photo of the seats....just replaced the fornt panels.......I had them customize the headrest to my body....They had me sit in a foam seat to measure my sitting position.....and added foam in certain areas to fit my body......the headrest is pushed out further..........result is perfect.......for me......

I replaced the shift ****,and boot....still available from Mazda.......got some burgudy door parts from Victoria British.......cups.......etc.......

Volvo 960 arm rest.......recovered in same leather as seats....painted the plastic to match........
One year update.......showing some thin areas where it rubs.......needs a small touch up........

The bad part of the paint process........once you start you will notice all the other areas that need to be touched up........I did one door panel..............and put it back in..............could not do anything else but the other side after seeing inside the car.......the other just sucked big time.........once painted it was good again.......and painting the horn pad.........easy fast and made me like the steering wheel again........

I bought a replacement rear carpet from Victoria British which does not match my interior at all.......too red..........so thats the one I am going to experiment with this summer and paint with this stuff.......there are directions on the bottle on how to paint carpet areas.......
