Changing Interior color, how much

[EclipseGSX13]

I am looking at buying a car, but I dont like the tan int. How hard or how much would it cost to change. I was thinking about looking on the trader for new seat, or to dye the leather - which of these choices would be best. Also the carpet, I was thinking of looking in a junk yard for a new color carpet or just dying it - which of these would be the best idea. I have never tried to dye leather or carpet so I dont know how hard this is, or if it would look bad or get hard.

anyone who has any advise or experiance,
please help a brother out

for the seats just buy new racing seats the stock leather is crap good upgrsded leather is about 1000 dollars give or take a little for the carpet just buy new from aac (i think thats the name) they avertise in most sport compact mags new carpet is only about $100 or it was when i bought it for my TA a few years back for the back just get seat covers or take them out dye is hade to get on even so the colors dont turn out right often

Dude, I don't think you realize how hard it is for people to read what you type. Try using punctuation, commas, and capitalization. Sentences include most of these things, you know...

yeah it is pretty hard to follow, but it you read it really slow it makes sense.

I dont have any interior shops in my area, and I really dont feel like taking an hour trip just to talk to them about a car I dont have yet. But it was a good thought, and thats what counts.. right?

If anyone else has any ideas or advise that would help alot.

thanks,

My car is going into the Interior Shop on Monday. I have the ugly Tan Leather interior right now, but the whole interior is being gutted out. Headliner everything......Im going with Silver in the middle and Midnight Blue with everything else. Im getting all this at cost and the shop Im going to has worked on some major cars before. Im going to pay around 2 grand and they are going to use Leather for all the seats. I will definately post some pics when it is complete.

I picked that color scheme because once Im done with all the performance upgrades to my car, Im going to throw and Aggressor front bumper and the Blitz side skirts and rear on it and have it painted Midnight Blue with Silver Metallic Flakes. That wont happen for about 3 more months though.
