What did you do today to your 3/S?

Pulled everything out of the Spyder for the black interior swap from the 98 all the way down to the carpet.

Black interior ftw, man, its so good looking.

It's amazing how much of a difference the black makes. I did it on the VR4 also and even used a dark headliner from a stealth. (I believe only the stealth had the dark headliner. 3000gt had tan only?). I miss that car.

Not sure yet what I will do with he charcoal headliner on the Spyder. I'm not a fan of painting plastic. Hard to get it to look right. Ideas?

painting the plastic pieces isn't all that hard. I just use TSP to clean the surface, then spray multiple light, then medium coats. If you can, buy a low-gloss black paint, for a "stock look" finish.

Make sure the interior paint can handle temperatures from the sun, so it won't flake/crack.

I'll take the charcoal headliner off your hands. *winkwink*

I'm looking to do a total tan -> black swap for my project. Finding true black interior is almost impossible, it seems. =/

Oh, right.. I did nothing with my car.. Seeing as how I live in New York, where the weather always totally blows.
