I"m wondering what are the hardest pieces to swap/find when swapping a interior from one color to a different color?

does a darker dash make your tint look darker?

do you need to run premium gas if you run a turbo setup?

did a 6th gen console come in black?

do black interiored cars have any grey pieces in them?

sorry if that was in the wrong forum I just had some spontanious questions

im doing the same thing with my 5th gen hatch....im not swapping any pieces though im using interior vinyl paint or something like that..my uncle says if its done right its just as good as original, and my uncle is a bodyshop and paint guy so he will do it for me.

that's cool
i've got access to a wrecked si with almost a complete black interior so i think i'm gonna do that instead though too many horror stories of vinyl paint

like you said in the follow up post.. none is really any harder from the next.. your idea to use a totalled car is a great idea.. its the best route to go

well.. i dont know? but i imagine if you put a brightly colored object behind tint.. it would be easier to see than say a black object..

thats WAY too vague of a question.. it totally depends on the setup (although you most definately wont be using 87.. lol).. but with forced induction (turbo, nitrous, etc..) most people use higher octane gas because it is more resistant to detonation.. and less likely to cause engine damage

if you mean the center console then no.. MOST of my 6th gens interior is dark charcoal

depends on the make and model of the car.. yes im SURE there are cars out there with gray and black interior...

I didn't think any 6th gen Civics in the US had black interiors... I thought the interior colors were tan, light grey, and dark grey. Dark grey's Int Color code is K, so you probably mean dark grey. =)

Now if you looked to JDMland, then you might find some black interior pieces. Honestly I don't think it's worth the price just for a different color though.
