Default interior changeover

I'm thinking of changing my interior on my 99 from light oak to torch red what kind of cost do you think I'm looking at? I want to change the seats, bottom half of the door panels and the carpeting.

Thanks,
Gary

Don't do it man - Black and Tan is the best color combo out there, and pretty rare it seems!

Just my $.02........

I have been doing some Torch Red mods lately to my Sebing Silver interior on my TR Coupe.

This is what has happened so far:

Bought new Mats all around, including the Cargo area. I didn't want to pull the carpet because it is still like new. Someone was offering free shipping on Lloyd's Mats and I think it was $100 or so.

Then I just picked up new Sport seats since my car came with standard. It took awhile to find what I wanted and I paid $1K. But it was worth it and they came out of a car with only 9K and it is TR leather. Plugged right in and work like a charm.

Next is the interior leather pieces like the door handle pulls, etc.

I am looking at getting Corbeaus for my interior and will have some red (recently recovered) sport seats available. I don't know if mine are worth $1000 but would be interested in what you think they are worth. Somewhere near that might make it possible for me to get my new seats ordered very soon.

Unfortunately, my carpet looks like it has 80,000 miles and is kind of a funky burgundy. When it finally dies, I will probably go with black for ease of cleaning.

I get tons of compliments on the red interior so I say do it as fast as you can.

Also, I don't care for the Z06 seats with the red inserts. Just looks funky to me.

Funky twice in one post...time for bed.

Never have heard anyone else ever say they wanted black anything for "ease of cleaning".
