changing to Black!!!! May 02, 2008, 10:08:28 AM I decided to change all the porno red to black. I was a little timid because I have never done anything with inertior but install new carpet. I need to have someone install the trim around the carpet to hide the seem. Tell me what you guys think Quote Selected

changing to Black!!!! Reply #7 – May 02, 2008, 02:01:07 PM I'm not a fan of the red either. The black looks good.What kind of carpeting did you get for the trunk? I see rolls at some parts places but it seems so thin and cheap. Quote Selected

changing to Black!!!! Reply #10 – May 02, 2008, 06:31:49 PM I did the same thing (porno red to black), but the main reasons I did mine was 1) Swapping TC seats in, and my TC seats were blue and 2) My porno red dash was cracked all to hell. The carpet and headliner out of the donor TC were no good, and I didn't want to have blue seats and dash with red carpet and headliner, so I compromised - I went with a two-tone red and black. Black dash, seats, console, and hard plastic bits, red carpet, headliner, and accents on the door panels. When I get around to replacing the carpet and headliner I'll get black, then do the door panels in all-black as well.One thing to look out for, Ether - the black vinyl/plastic paint I used did NOT want to stick to the hard plastic surrounding the door pocket and the pull strap. I actually painted it, noticed it scratched really easily, then simply peeled it right off (which is why it's red in my car - I had intended on leaving only the carpeted part of the panel red). If it peeled off that easily I can just imagine how durable it would have been in the car... Quote Selected

I also used a red scotch pad to help adhesion Quote Selected
changing to Black!!!! Reply #13 – May 03, 2008, 08:07:11 AM I used the same wax and grease remover that I used on the body of the car before painting it (still have about 3/4 of a gallon left after the paint job). Paint just didn't want to stick. It was only those parts, too - everything else, the paint took a death grip Quote Selected
