Question Change of Skin

OK,
Well i have ripped apart all the local junk yards and have just found brown interior after brown interior so this is my question. Do any of you'all(i lived in florida for awhile) know where i can purchase or rip out a black interior. I just purchased my 91 White RX-7 with a Mint Navy blue interior but I really want black.
And does any body know about some taillight swaps i can do, i was looking for altezza tail lights but have come up short

And owe yeah one more thing sorry, do any of you know if the HKS Camp comes with a screen or no.

Thanks alot guys
Quasi

interior change

What kind of interior do you have cloth or leather? Also what are you going to do with it once you have the black one? BTW, how many miles on your '91?

you could always have it recovered. You get brand new cloth, your choice of possible customizations, and don't pay for the entire seats and whatnot when you only want diff cloth

maybe

I was thinking that just a ripped out interior of a wrecked one would cheaper.
And just get the roof liner redone

I'm still not sure

I go in for a interview tommorrow at this dodge dealership(to bad not mazda or ford at least) wish me luck maybe in a couple of days i'll be posting a pic of me in a VIPER

I swapped out my Interior too. From 88 Blue to 91 Black TII. I started from my old Interior to verify If I breaked anything, not to repeat that on the 91. It worked out well... I broke everything on the 88 but Installed the 91 with ease.

This scenario took me all weekend but If I were to do It again, It would take me a full day. Plug and play really...
