Help with interior conversion

[bobafett]

i have a blue car, with the blue interior... i am probably going to paint the car soon...and i want to change the interior to black.

now i assume it wont be that big of a deal to paint all the plastic peices... but i am wondering what the best strategy is for the carpet, and fabric material....

ALSO, which colors look good on this car...i am having a friend do it, and i might do silver or white (he's gonna be painting his truck silver, so i could get the supplies kinna cheap) i wanted to do black, but he says its a lot harder to paint.... any suggestions?

ps, i am gonna be painting all the mouldings and bumpers too, do you have any advice?

AHHH yes, and where can i buy white(indiglo) gauges for this car... OR, whats the best strategy to making them?? can someone send me a scan or something, that i could print out?

hey bobafett, these are the EURO SILVER REVERSE INDIGLO GAUGES. check out the site:
http://procarparts.com/store/display...id=ING-89ACD-R
a couple of the guys have these installed. they look sweet. if i had the money i'd get them. but i made my own and they look good too. of course you get the great feeling of making them, and the look takes my breath away
check out this site to make your own. http://www.geocities.com/kimurayasu/gauges.html

Procarparts.com has reverse indiglo guages I believe. As for the carpet, you'll probably spend close to the same amount of $$ dying the carpet right as you would buying new carpet (I think nate got new carpet for $150), so I'd go with the new carpet. I'd also go for new seat belts (it's damn hard to dye those things and keep them flexible enough to roll back up).
