I was gonna post this in the int/ext section, but since it is only an FD thing....

I recently switched from the tan to black door panels from an R1 and noticed when I got them that it was faded a little from the dash color. I thought maybe it was just the set I bought, but after seeing a few other FDs w/ black interior, I notice this is something a lot of FDs possess. I did, before I bought the black door panels, paint the stock tan ones and they came out really well and match the dash almost perfectly. I am highly considering putting the painted ones in and selling the stock black unless someone knows a good solution to bringing shine/color back to them.

Thanks in advance.

 

one last try...

no one else has this problem?

 

I didnt want to wasted the time or money looking for black door panels so I just dyed mine.... It matches the dash almost exactly.

 

What dye did you use and where can I get it?
Thanks
