[SlowWhite]

He must work at a shop or dyno himself?

I can't believe what people are asking for some DSM's these days. It's laughable.
No kidding. We should have put a bunch in storage back in the early 2000's and sold them for double today.

Ha, they're asking crazy amounts, I guarantee NONE of them are selling. They still aren't worth that much unless it's a low mileage original car.

I'm paying to have it dynod. The current owner is a police officer.

As far as some of the crap I've found over last 7 month. .
Last week.... 1995 white gsx (exactly what I was lookong for as far as shell goes) built motor, injen intake, safc, boost gauge, springs and struts, and exhaust. $6000 then after talking with the guy. Car can't be driven tranny is broke so no test drives,, no stereo, side mirrors don't work, no back seat, front seats are torn. And front bumper needs to be painted.

Also got some good news there is a guy who runs a salvage yard that's on tuners. Thats just north of Charlotte. That said he has most of the pieces I'd need if I ever wanted to go tan or black for the interior. Said he has over 200 eclipses in his yard. (Didn't get a response back yet though as far as pricing) but at least he's only about 1.5hrs from me and the over 1/2 the trip is on a back road I love (used to ride my R6 on it all the time before the kids ,very scenic)

So been tossing ideas around on the interior of this car tonight. And am pretty sure I want to ditch the cloth interior for black.

But have a few questions. I have taken every interior panel off my old eclipse bit a few pieces.

And im not even sure they came in black. Please chime in.
black dash (never taken a dash out is it complicated?)
Roof liner and sunroof cover (did they come on black? How hard is it to swap out sunroof cover)
Carpet (did it come in black?)
Doors did they make an all black door?

Im pretty sure im going to go with some sort of colored piping inside either red, or silver
what Do you guys thing

Yes all those things were made in black. Your first time pulling a dash will be a little time consuming, I've done so many at this point I can have them out in 20 mins (using air ratchets of course). I dont think the headliner would be hard either but I've never done one with a sunroof.

[SlowWhite]

The guy at the junk yard said they never made an all black interior and then I saw one posted on tuners for sale. So I was some what confused.

I figured didn't really mater if they didn't make an all black interior but want pretty sure I could mix and match all the parts together as I really don't want to paint this interior.

I plan to do racing seats /belts in the future so that should also make it easier to find all the parts.

[Fejery4491]

I believe black was only an option in 99
