I think if you painted the interior black and your trim a gloss blue it would look sick!

I don't got the money for that the only way for it to cost nothing for me is to switch with someone local and i don't know anyone local that would want to same goes for the rest of the interior too that's the only prob and why I'd have to paint

there's an ebay store that has seats and carpet I look for the link.

EDIT: Looks like it sold man sorry. Though ebay has a lot of OE seats and carpet that pop up time to time.

i would say yes, bt wait until you can get black seats and carpet as well. also, don't paint it, save for the actual black interior.

just save up man, it will be a much better finished end product. sometimes the longer a project takes (modding a car in this example) the more satisfying it is in the end.

painting it will get you that black look but it does scratch, and you always have to touch it up. I painted mine it looks good but I take it all out and touch it up like every 3 months.... I'm slowly saving for the all black interior though... Just wait on it. Save your pennies, and do it right the first time. I still have the grey seats, but i have custom black seat covers, for both front and the back...

I guess I could just get seat covers then but I really don't want to have to pay for all new interior. I rather swap for free. Paying for a diff color interior of the same thing is just ridiculous. So if anyone here from jersey or other tri state areas wanna swap their black interior for my tan/gray that would be great. Cause then I don't have to pay for anything it's just a swap. Think maybe a used car dealer would let me swap?

Go to a junk yard and try to find black cobalt doors and rear panels for the back.
