Looks nice. I've got a beige leather interior as well...I'll be swapping out the carpets, dash and center console to black leather in the near future.

Not bad, reminds me of the interior I had on a 93 Integra. They had a black and sand theme going. If I may, how much did you pay for the interior?

Is definitely an improvement. I have no idea why all German cars have to have hideous cloth (VW's plaid cloth, for example ), I was so glad to get rid of mine as well.

02' C230 Coupe & 92' 190e 2.6
thanks everyone, i got the seats for 800 including a seatbelt. I was looking to do this for a while now but just didnt have the funds / time, i think it was an upgrade well worth the $$. i do however have an issue where the passenger seatbelt wont release until i am moving.. pretty strange.

Thanks! i can provide direction to whomever that is looking to do something like this.

I would love to change my whole ash/gray interior to black but couldn't find all the parts on eBay and the cost just piles up. That or just replace the aluminum interior panels with Birds-Eye wood... but I couldn't find all the panels either Any advice on where to check?

i searched the forums and found someone who lived in the midwest. it was luck that the guy was coming out to the NE for a high school reunion and we agreed on a meeting place close to me but it took me a lot of time to find the the stuff now (almost 1.5 years) passively searching the forums. the next thing im looking for are the 05' tail lights.. lets see how long that will take..

One thing that would definitely help would be to take the SRS badges and paint them in the same color as the leather. Right now, they scream, "That's right - the whole interior used to be like me!"
