I've been working on my interior lately as I wanted a black one instead of grey. I realized it would be hard, and expensive, to buy the dash and all necessary panels in black. So, I decided to dye my whole dash and all panels black instead of buying new ones. List of prices:

Front carpet brand new never used (no holes even cut yet) = 65 shipped
Rear carpet and strut tower covers = 100 shipped
Headliner/sun visors/center console = 40 shipped
2 Black S5 door panels = 90 shipped
Black Dye = 10
Total = 305

I was very happy with that price and the outcome. I already had black racing seats so I didn't need new ones, thankfully. I was very happy with the quality of carpet I got, the front never being used and the rear in prestine condition. It took me and my friend a while to rip the entire interior apart, put in the carpet, cut all the holes for various things, dye all the panels, reinstall, etc, but it was worth it IMO.

I took a few pics for now but it was EXTREMELY bright outside when taking them so they didn't turn out that great. Since it was so bright I only took 4 for now. Couple notes, yes I know I am missing my shifter boot currently you dont need to tell me. I ordered a new shifter boot and E-brake boot and am waiting on them. Also, it's a little dirty in the front and rear carpet since I haven't had a chance to clean it that well since I finished. Oh and some things, like my seats , turned out "not so black" because of the bright *** sun, but oh well I'll get some better pictures later. Enjoy and comments/questions are welcome

wow u dyed everything. awesome. its the same thing im gonna do with mine, but mines the burgandy crap *** interior. i wonder if it will look that good. congradulations.

Thanks. The dye covered up the color completely really fast and easily. Most parts only needed 2-3 coats. The dash took a while because of how big and curvy it is.

ddub

Yes I certainly do

And thanks, I definitely think the black interior is 100000000x better than grey. Grey is alright, but black is sexy

How do you like those corbeaus? Fitment issues or anything?

those seats are awesome...now tell me your gunna ditch that crappy automatic seatbelt junk and get some real straps to keep you snug.

ilike2eatricers

He should only get harnesses if he gets a roll cage.

ddub

The plans are to eventually get a roll cage of some sort along with harnesses. Also, I don't have auto seatbelts
