Default 1981/82 Interior Question

I currently have a dark blue interior in my 82', but I want to change the whole thing to black. Black was not offered that year but it was in 81'. Anybody know of any problems with ordering the 81' black? It should be the same fit right?

The 80 and 81 should be the same as 82,

You can save a lot of the pieces by prepping then well and using dye or paint that is made for this purpose. I am changing my 73 to black, and have used most of my original pieces. It works very well, and saves a lot of money.

It should but remember to match non-power or power driver's seat from year-to-year. Both 1981 and 1982 had the power option.

I changed my 82 over to black with no problems. Just tell them you need interior parts for a 1981 corvette with black interior.
