Default WHAT do you guys think?

Do you think it would be easier to convert the saddle brown interior to red guts...?

OR

Do you thik it would be easier to paint the white VETTE and different color LIKE... say dark pewter...?

I am not sure I want to keep the factory color interior and exterior.

Or Change one or the other?

My car needs a paint job anyway(front and rear bumpers) it is orginal paint....
I have my L88 custom hood to paint...(if I keep the car white I will paint the center bulge black).

***REMEMBER MY CAR IS NOT FACTORY ORGINAL ANYMORE.... I am running a LS1 motor

Interior would be easier AND cheaper...but you would still need a repaint, apparently

Since it needs paint, do that first in the color you like.
