yes it can be done if you find the black interior piece, best place to look is at the junk yard.

Some fabric dye like RIT might work the fabric.

You can do it. If you want to do it right you are going to have to replace all of the trim pieces, the dash, the console and all the carpets, this includes the rear carpet, trim pieces and the speaker covers as well. Theres a lot, and if you are removing the black interior from another car, make sure to label everything and be very careful, 20 year old plastic pieces like the break easily.

All you need is black dash, black door panels, and black/gray carpet. Then get some black vinyl/fabric paint for the rest.

Heck, you might even be able to use RIT dye for any plastic as well. I know it works to dye urathane skateboard wheels, so if you're going to get rid of the stuff anyway it's worth a shot.
