Default Who would want Tan interior?

how hard is it to change out the entire interior? And how much would I expect to pay for an entire red 2004-2005 red interior? Thanks! Has anyone hear ever changed an 03-05 GPW's interior to red? I want pictures! Thanks!

Didn't the offer a red in the 00-02 white cars? I know I have seen a picture of one and it looked sharp.

Not a fan of tan myself, but my mothers red/tan Miata does look nice.

you want the exact same setup i want except i want the black/red interior.

Tan is a nice color and i know people in RED & Black S2k's would want to swap your interior.

Contact HardTopGuy.com for pricing info.

I would have loved tan interior. Unfortunately, it wasn't an option on NFR.

Door panels, console, carpets, seats.

We - 3 guys working - did the Tan from 04GPW into 04Berlina & Black from Berlina into GPW in just over 4 hours. Not a single broken clip.

It is a lot of work - not necessarily hard and pretty straight forward - you need to know the ins & outs of the interior. & there's a few places that are tricky but again not difficult.

What's the value of the labor to do the swap - well me - I'm pretty expensive - Billman & I discussed this on the way home from my swap & we're thinking something like $400/500 from each car for the labor plus any travel expenses. we're in NYCMetro area.

hardtopguy in ohio may price this work differently/less or more?

I am still looking for a donor of a Tan interior for my 05 NFR.

I want to stay with the 04/05 model year since the differences in the door panels and center console....

Where are you located at F22C

I would have purchased red/tan instead of yellow/black if it had been available.

i've made the switch from tan to black/red. i bought most of the red stuff from chris at s.o.s. since he gutted his car, and it really spiced up my interior. by myself, it took about 4.5 hours to do the switch. i had a hard time selling mine since my driver's seat was worn on the side, but i've finally sold it recently. if yours is still in good condition, there are some red and black owners that would kill for your tan. good luck with your search!

Tan looks good on Silverstone too. (And Moonrock )

There's a guy who just swapped tan into a yellow.

The most time consuming part IMHO is the carpet. I did seats and door panel inserts in no time. It's pretty easy.

If you want more info, check out the link about the red/black swap in my signature.
