I think I want to dye my carpet and my cloth seats black. I'm gonna do audi or bmw front seats. I love black interiors so wondering if anyone has done it. Currently I have the tan and brown interior in my 97.
Has anyone done a black interior on their 80 (1 Viewer)

I’ve got black interior in mine. I love it. I have black vinyl floor, covered my dash pad, armrest etc in black vinyl. My door cards are black abs. I have black after market front seats and black seat cover on the 2nd row. I haven’t done the headliner or pillar trims yet but I’ll probably do grey on the headliner. I can post some pics tomorrow.
Pics or it doesn't exist!

Pics aren’t great. I can take some more in the daylight.

Taking these pics reminded me I need to do my console lid.
And wipe the bacon grease off your camera lens. Jeez

Excellent. I think I'm gonna do it. I'm trying to avoid all the spray can dye stuff but might have to use it on the doors. I'm gonna use Rit dye on the cloth seats and carpet.

Yeah I need a new case it’s scratched pretty bad.
You're gonna dye CLOTH seats?
I don't think I'd do it.....but that's me.
Most here have done this with replacement leather or vinyl seats. I wouldn't dye where I'm gonna park my sweaty ass for 14 hours.
Plus @voodu3 started with grey interior, not tan.
I think my favorite was @ZeGerman but the pics are gone

I fought the headliner and the headliner lost
So you have an old school headliner? And you would like to remove it because perhaps your sunroof leaks? Or you need to run a cable? Make sure your hands are clean they say. Its tedious but doable they say. NO WAY I SAY! Is glued, its screwed, you need to take our your damn windows cause its...

I just ordered some black Duplicolor vinyl spray to do my airbag since my steering wheel leather is/will be black. I have an area of my airbag that has the original color/texture peeling off, so hoping this solves for that.
@voodu3 did you spray your door cards or did you replace the leather there? Also, dibs on your stock gray armrest when you make the change

Looks great. I am planning to do a complete black interior as well, minus the headliner. Great idea for the door panel cards out of ABS. My biggest challenge is seat belts. I'd like to line up a solution for seat belts with black plastic trim.
You could have new seatbelts made in black from the company recommended on this forum for redoing them. Just have to order black.
The plastic bits can be recolored with vinyl paint.
If your current belts are in good shape, I recommend you buy a trashed set and send THOSE off for rebuild, then sell your good shape oak colored belts to offset costs.

They did mine but I kept gray. They may offer a plastic cover replacement.

I’m remaking my interior in black and grey/silver and red stitching. Safety restore fixed my belts and they’re black and red now.

I was going for all black until I realized that I can't do that with two white-furred dogs.
