MRSGTIP,
Your changes look good, but I'm a huge fan of your before combo.
Do you know if I would be able to dye my black carpet to the tan color or is the black just too black for the tan dye to work?

Generally, it works best to dye carpet to a darker color.

Looks good....black is beautiful....I wish my tan interior on my '85 looked as good as yours did before you did the change....I've started some of the work on mine...changed the rear carpet to black, darkens the rear compartment, almost as if I tinted the rear window....was thinking of dying the rest of the carpets, armrests and console black as well to give some contrast to an otherwise boring color scheme.

I know this question was asked above but... to each is own and you did good work and all... but why... I have a black car with factory black interior and to tell you the truth I wish it had any color interior but black on the inside... there is no contrast just everything is black... I would like tan or Red or grey... that just my $.02
Good work though

It would probably not work going lighter.....maybe if you put a ton of coats on it.......if you had a test piece that would be great

I got the flat panel for a gift but I'm afraid it will look to plain.....it doesn't have anything on it just plain......the box at least has the word corvette on it

JMO......the saddle is old looking to me and is very plain and boring......I feel like I should be a 60 y/o driving it......black with red accents is much sharper in my opinion.....and thats what it is MY opinion

dye on door panels and plactic piesces
Did you dye the door panesl and if so what was the process? I am looking to change my red interior to white. The door panels are in excellent shape and I would prefer to dye them if I can or change the vinyl on them.
