Complete Interior Swap Out
Hey, does anyone know anyone in NC that does this type of work, them having the parts and all? I have been looking forever to no avail in trying to get a black 01 vette with light oak interior. I think my only option now is to get a black on black and swap out the interior parts. I'm only worried if the end result will be "perfect".
ANYway, if anyone knows a good shop OR a good member who is up for this task, please post away.
Thanks in advance.

tan interior is somewhat rare, the swap is very simple, carpets, seats, door panels, lower column dash panel, glove box, sill covers
i'd say a 2 hour job, maybe 5 if you need to swap seat skins
your first step would be locating the tan interior, most likely someone would be willing to trade: tan for black

For all the components you listed (carpets, seats, door panels, lower column dash panel, glove box, sill covers) are they mostly screws and bolts or do I need specialized tools.
Also, I was def. planning on swapping out the seat skins, how difficult are they to get on/off?
Thanks for your help.

If you want perfect you may want to take alook at carvaggio in Ontario.
All it takes is time and money!

check out www.vetteessentials.com... Here's a link to the install for everything!
The carpets are just put in place, nothing holds em down but other stuff like the seats or velcro!

in a couple of months i will be starting on my 99 coupe and the entire interior is going to come out. i am going to be fiberglassing and a lot of other crazy stuff so the original color wont matter to me. depending on when i get started and how soon you want the tan we might be able to trade. ive got racing seats in it now so i wont need black seats.
