ugh...no.

See i would have taken the headliner too , but the interior was out of a LX , and my 92 EX has a sunroof I love the sunroof , but i was just sad that i could'nt pull the whole thing. Plus I just got done rebuilding my dash , and I like the black dash a whole lot more than the grey one I just need to track down some grey seatbelts now too. So i was thinking bout some Corbeaus like these , or even an older model that has a similar sytle.



I think that these would look mighty sick in the front , and if I source a grey cloth rear it should be perfect. Lemmie know waht you guys think

Where do you find these seats... I must have them pm me a link or somethin any1 asap pleassssse

its lookin really good man.. I am in the process of doing this with my wagon. from tan to SE leather black and grey. its hard. I think im gonna just spray all the little plastic parts and pillars to black or maybe grey. depends on how it looks after i spray it

Interior swaps are such a time consuming pain in the ass,but man are they ever worth it in the end.

This is why I try not to buy vehicles with maroon interiors anymore.

Question though....why didn't you get the seatbelts and other grey bits like the carpet?

i wouldnt mind doing some welding at all , the only thing is that i dont have a TIG and if i was gonna go thruogh all the trouble of welding and what not, i think i would just save up a little more cash and pick up a set of those sweet Corbeaus on the first page

So as far as the headliner goes, i was thinking of picking a used one up also, but then i came across this post in one of the headliner threads and I think this might look pretty sick but in a different fabric or somethething.



Heres a pick of the fabric i was thinkin bout slappin all over the headliner and door panels , tell me what you guys think about this ? is it a little to trendy , and should i just rewrap everything in a stock looking grey fabric like mircofiber or like faux suede or something. thanks for posting up

talk about dr. seuse and a headache, imo, if you can pull it off, to each man his own.

Looks good bro! As for the headliner,
please don't put anything funky on there. Its
starting to look to clean to put something that pops
out at you on the top. IMO.

+1 on creativity on the headliner, but i dont like the 2nd 1 u posted, espeically you said you wanted it on your doors also,

[my 9t9d]

well i did that to my sedan she had a tan interior and i did a 93 ex grey int. i got the whole thing for 175 includding seats. the transformation was great i only need to drop my headliner and install the sun roof flap.

good luck with the transformation. and for the trunk id just take out all the beauty boards. my trunk is gutted and looks good. ill post pics of the int. later... good job though........

Question though....why didn't you get the seatbelts and other grey bits like the carpet?

The reason that i didnt pull the belts the old carpet was because the CB that i pulled it from was a 91 with the auto belts and the carpet had big cutouts in the floor from where the autobelts used to be

So im kinda bringing this thread back from the dead lol. A little update on the retrofit, I sourced some new seat belts, seat garnish , and B-pillar covers the other day for 50 bucks at the local yard



I know this is taking me forever but having a teething 1 year old girl sure does limit the amount of wrench time that i can put in lol Ill take some more detailed pics and link a DIY that im going to make for the complete removal of all the seat belts for 92-93 model CBs keep checkin in for more to come hehe.

Peace,
