    If I'm not mistaken, someone with a Proton VX redid their interior and it looked pretty sharp.
    Peace.

    I can't for the life of me remember whose that was, but I agree - that Proton was bada$$... Door panels were painted Proton yellow to match the exterior, and there was a custom fiberglass enclosure with amps and 3 subwoofers. I searched for pictures but couldn't find any. I'm sure someone here remembers who the owner of that one was...

    Another option for changing the seats would be to purchase some leather "skins" custom made for those seats. On another forum I used to spend time on they did a group buy with a company out of Vancouver, BC that designed patterns and offered replacement skins in a variety of color combinations. Since most of our seats are in the 8-10 year old range now (unless they were replaced of course ) there might be some interest in this if someone wanted to locate a company and provide their seats for designing the pattern... Just a thought.

    While that one does look very sharp, it's not the one I was thinking of. This one had painted interior panels and a really tricked out audio system. Man, that proton yellow carpet must be hard to keep clean!!

    Too complicated and expensive. Go buy a leather dye kit off the net. I've done it several times. Costs about $100 and turns out great. Use google.

    Dye?

    You get what you pay for. Buy the best if you want to do that because some of the cheaper brands run not good, they just do not hold up to the sliding in and out of the veihicle. Just look for one with the grey interior. PLEASE!!
