All plastic components in cockpit will be painted black and seats will be black. Not a fan of tan or beige

i wouldnt mess with the interior paints, the paint cracks within a year or two. i would find somebody parting out a car and just replace it.

Have not been doing much of anything. Did finally manage to talk the wife into removing the shiney 17 " rims and low profile tires and replace with some 15 inch non low profile tires.
What really made her decide was both rear tires started coming apart .
