Interior color swap

The only thing I regret in the slightest is not having a black interior. I want to upgrade my seats anyway and know that interior parts can be found on Ebay and from various dismantlers. The hardest/most expensive part that I see is the dash. I've read many threads about how cheasy most feel painting the plastics is. Most suggest leather wrapping. Are there any other options or suggestions out there? What is the typical cost of leather wrapping the entire dash?

I've already changed the center tunnel, shift boot and e brake. I think the black/savannah (sp?) combo looks fine and plan to piece meal this through the project. I'm sure there will come a point were it's akward looking untill the conversion is complete, but I can live with it. ...or just stash parts untill I have them all.

Trading the car in for one that already has a black interior is not an option for the time being. I'm rather settled that this is going to be my toy for quite awhile.

btw- 2001 3.4 C2 blk/savannah; PSS9's; Fabspeed exhaust

YOu can swap out all of the intererrior. Just get a pet disc make a list of everything you need. ebay all you can supplement by sunset imports and call it a day. Taking the dash apart really isn't that big of a deal it's just time consuming. I believe tool pants has a tutorial on it that I remember a while back maybe on renntech
