Default Changing Z interior from Frost to Black?

I have an 03 Z with Frost interior and was wondering if it would be possible to change the interior to black?

If so, would it be difficult? has anyone ever done it? How much do you think it would cost? where should i source the parts?

any help you can give is appreciated.

Trade in your car for with the charcoal interior. Trim parts are about $3-5k, depending on how you'd buy them. Even if you did, you're talking about MAJOR amounts of effort to take out all of the old pieces, and replace with new. And, when you removed the old panels, you'd most likely either break clips or the mounting tabs for many of the panels.

Please - this is similar to making an engine swap. Usually, the costs and difficulty involved is more than simply trading in the car for what you really want.

Good luck. Hope this helps, and that things work out.

i think the best thing to do would be to trade with someone local, find a totaled Z, or try contacting one of the Z race teams that have gutted theirs? dealer parts are $$$$$$!!! its going to be a pretty long job too! not very hard, just time consuming!! it should be pretty strait foward ( i have ripped mine apart MANY times!! ) but you DEFFINATLY dont want to pay to have someone do it!!! just my $.02. good luck!

Take pics of your interior, cuz I don't think I've ever seen a frost interior, and I may be up for a SoCal drive...
