Interior Conversion
I searched first - couldn't find anything on this. Can anyone give a cost and pain estimate of converting over an interior? I have come across several cars that fit what I am looking for except for the interior color. I assume that the dash will be the biggest issue - are they dyeable?
Back in the day, I swapped in a black interior plus Recaros to my 240Z, replacing the white (white/faded yellow/dirty/torn) interior. It took less than a weekend and probably $800. Not saying I would do the work myself this time.
Thanks

more trouble than its worth... better off getting the interior you want from the start... I was thinking of swapping ou tmetropol blue to black interior, but its just way too much of a pain in the ****

Prefer black, sport seats, some aluminum and/or CF. Could live with Metropol. I do not care for Savanna or any tans/browns, nor gray, nor terracotta, etc. Had black and red Daytona interior on my Fcar, but don't see any red as a choice for a Porsche. Most recent TT that caught my attention has the Savanna interior, which is what prompted this inquiry.

Black is the most common 996Tt int. color. aluminum and CF can be add after. Give it some time and you will found the right one. If you really can't find the right ext. and int. combo. I will suggest re spay exterior. I will be cost less and easier. Change either int. or ext. will affect resale value anyway!

We did one about a year ago and it literally was thousands by the time we were done. I looked great but a hell of a lot of work. The customer wanted gray and black. To pull the dash is some serious time.
