This is a win-win swap for both parties. The tan interior looks great.....but only, IMHO, with a dark color exterior like black, red, or a dark green exterior. The GPW needs to have either a black or red or a combination of black/red. The contrast theory. Kind of like kitchen cabinet and countertop. If one is light the other should be dark and vice versa.

Very Nice. I wasn't really feeling the tan on white but tan on black flows with the car alot better. IMO i think tan only looks good with red and black...gives that ferraish style look to it.

Thats exactly how I feel. Even though i know nothing about kitchen countertops or interior decorating, it visually makes sense.

The black/tan looks really sharp. If they'd offered that combination from the factory, I would probably have gotten black instead of silverstone.
I have found out - since I started looking into this swap - that you can order Black with Tan Inerior if you live in Japan - the color selector off the Honda japan Web Site offers all sorts of color combinations -
Also it seems a member of the UK Forum has been trying to order Black/Tan as a EU import...I'm not sure how that works...

you do however seem to know quite a bit about GT4 - awesome demonstration of talent - I was impressed.

Now about those blood stains on the Tan carpets....

Tomorrow? OK!! I'm starting to miss the tan .

You may want to change your profile now. You're sporting the new and improved tan interior! I hope you're lovin' the swap just as much as I am.

Looks great, guys!

Out of curiousity, did either of you add any sound deadening products to the floor pans while doing the swap?

Looks amazing. I've been an advocate of the black and tan for a long time.

thanks -

thought about sound insulation but did not execute - time consideration and loving the rock & roll raucus concert of the S2000.

however, the interior swap would be a great opportunity to insulate or add sound proofing.
