Unhappy Oh no it's brown

The car is brown. BROWN! I drive a car that looks like a loaf. I can paint it but there is one problem, the interior is all matching brown. How do i fix the interior or at least make i grey? Is there some kind of interior kit?

Find someone selling a grey interior, or find another car w/ a grey interior where thee ngine is shot so they sell it cheap.

How did you JUST find out your car is brown?

I like brown, I'm actually thinking of painting my car brown...light brownish. It's cream color right now and my interior is all brown also.
Grey interior is nice to have though cause you can match almost any color to it.

I don't think brown interior is all that bad, but I can't seem to get used to brown exteriors. I just don't like them....all in personal taste I guess. Glad I don't have one though.

Gamble, unless your camera sucks, that's not the brown - it's the copper/bronze color. IMO the bronze looks nice - brown, however...

well, to each their own said the woman as she kissed her cow...

I have an '84 GSL that is R7 Body colout (Percimon Orange), with the brown interior,. I like the interior very much. I find it is less comon then the grey, or the red even. It suits the paint colour very well any other colour would clash very badly with the body colour.

I had a light blue "85 GSL with the gery interior, I find the brown looks better, I can make it look cleaner, and it stays cleaner looking longer.

I agree with Kriton (inittab) the brown grows on you. I was not crazy about it at first either.

Be glad you have brown. It will match the plethora of rust you will find on the car.

I am not a fan of RED, but a Red exterior with a brown/tan interior really gives it an exotic car look.

Just a thought.

Those wheels wouldn't look too bad if you cleaned them up a bit. Or you could paint them black or something like that. I think the brown with black rims look is cool. Good luck on fixing up your car!
