I's die for a black interior... I'm debating on whether I should try dye-ing my S4 maroon interior when I find another dd or keep it. Humm... Nice interior though. Hopefully you got the whole interior from an S5 instead of parting it together. That'd be a bitch

"I'm debating on whether I should try dye-ing my S4 maroon interior"

If the interior was originally maroon, I'm a fan for keeping it that way albeit restoring it to toward original. Best rattle can do it yourself to turn the sun bleached brown back to factory look maroon I've found is SEM Flexible Coating in Burgundy (#15063). Most any auto paint store has it, or you can find it online for about $10 a can. Works on carpet, vinyl, cloth, and Velour.

By the way, the only stock S4 Black A pillars (that is, with no mouse track channels) came on the 10th Anniversary TII, so good luck finding any. Best to simply buy a can of black SEM flexible coating for the ones you already have.

I did that with my s4 maroon interior except I only did the back half

so now i have half a black s5 interior and half an s4 maroon interior

the only fitment issue i ran into was the seatbelts, but a dremel can fix that. I'll post pics if you guys are interested

Did the same thing. New black carpet, and all black trims and seats.
