    Taking the interior apart is actually pretty easy. You're lucky, I love that Seattle Silver/Burgandy interior combination.

    But you want to turn it to black. There's various nuts/bolts/clips that hold different panels on. 4 Big bolts for the front seats, clips for most everything else. There are a few screws in each of the door panels, they're covered by little...covers. Hah. You can just pull out the entire rear seat. ABC pillars all held in by clips.

    As far as changing the color, try either spray painting or dying the plastic. I would go the dying route. From what I've seen, it typically looks better once its finished, but I've never seen a re - spray painted or re - dyed interior. So who knows, it's really up to what you want to do. Spraying or dying, they both change the color.

    Anyway Ting, welcome to CB7 tuner. Post up some pictures of your car, and get ready for a long stay. Any question you could think of has more than likely answered on this site, so use that search button! Good luck with the car

        Of course man, we all start at some place!

        Yeah...there are some threads in the interior section I'm sure. A few guys have done it before, and its looked like stock. That's for the plastic parts, I mean.

        Now...dying the carpet/seats...that'll be more involved, but can be done!

        The dash will be your biggest obstacle I'd say.

          Yeah I agree with npor! I drive a '90 sedan with same interior and the dash is the reason I wouldn't swap the black interior in my sedan!

              But it IS a pain in the ass to remove, then changing the color of it I'd imagine would be a lot more involved than changing the color to an a pillar!

              With that being said...if I were doing it, I would just swap an original black dash in, then recolor everything myself.
