    George, I'm thinking black as well. It would be more subtle and work well with the steering wheel I plan on getting.

    Caoboy, haha yep! I actually had tan carpet again for a couple weeks before this.

    That's a good point. The only downside is that the center console separates at the shifter and the only way to remove the tan dash is by taking out the ENTIRE dash.

    I had to pull up a picture of a tan 2000 dash to understand what you meant about the center console. It looks like you will need to change the door panels, lower dash, and center console together. Normally I would say that the red console would look odd, but the black seats should help break it up.

    Removing a dash is not that bad once you decide to do it. With the help from a friend, I swapped the dash and carpet in my '93LE AND installed a rollbar all in one weekend.

    Yeah I plan on having black seats even if I change them out. The only problem with removing the dash is that my car is my DD (and only car) so I gotta make sure I have the downtime to do it

    Like I said in the other thread, black and red would look awesome!

    Car is looking good, keep it up!

    I'll try to find the picture I'm thinking of with the black and red interior that made me fall in love with the black/red theme.

    You know, you could always go 93le dash and door cards as well.......

    I was in the process of swapping NA cards in when my 99 got wrecked. The crash pads line up perfectly with the trim on the dash.

    I love it! I would custom make some NA style door cards with cross stitched red leather, like a boss. I hate you for having such an awesome color scheme silver (and gunmetal) on red interior is absolutely PERFECT, so classy.

    Skinny, I was originally gonna do an entire 93LE swap but my plans changed a bit. I might do the LE dash, but I'm thinking of doing custom door cards from an NA using the red/black theme.

    Chris, you pretty much read my mind! Thanks, I've always loved silver cars with red interiors. It's pretty exciting seeing my plans come together

    I plan on getting the same wheel Pacman99 has in his NB... Nardi Corn 350mm. I'm still debating whether I want black spokes or silver.

    I usually have an opinion to give when it comes to options, but in all honesty your car would be sexy either black or silver (both go very well).

    Skinny, where would you say your hands rested with that setup in comparison to the stock wheel? Further from the signal/wipers?

    Chris, I am kinda leaning towards black just because I have that chrome mooneyes shift knob and that thing got smudged up pretty quick haha.

    I think the lack interior with the red carpet would look pretty damn slick.

    If you place your palms on the wheel and extend your fingers flat youll just touch the stalks for the wipers and indicators, I always sat one click from all the way back. If you thrashed your car around on a spirited drive you wouldnt have to worry about accidentaly turn the wipers on etc
