so I have a gl replica, but my interior is black, which I was fine with because I liked being different. 

But now I am toying with the idea of dyeing the interior a dark tan, to be more with in spec. 

only thing being I have a few interior pieces signed in which id want to keep in side the car. 


My idea is to :

Dye tan the , seats, door panels, headliner, upper / top dash, and the plastic portion of the console.

then -- leave the carpet black, the gauge bezels wood, lower dash pads black (because the glove box is signed) and console carpet black , kinda giving it a two tone look but not crazy.

What is your thoughts?

The two tone would look good.

I'm thinking it wont look that bad and it would be a suttle two tone

I think the black really wouldn't overpower at all my be a nice change to see

I have, my buddy dyed his whole interior tan and has held up just fine,  its the prep work and a quality product that makes the difference

I think it would look horrible myself.  If you're set on changing the interior to tan then remove the signed pieces and get different ones to dye the whole thing.  I'd go with a black interior over that nasty cream tan any day.  The original saddle would be nice though.

Saddle is the nicest tan in my opinion. The spray bombed light tan interiors look horrible at best so I would avoid that. If it was me I'd remove the signed pieces to keep safe seperately and do the interior in saddle.

My interior was re-done in saddle but the dash was left black, it drove me nuts which turned into a complete 3k dash restoration.

Agreed. The best materials and prep work will not handle heavy use. For me the wear started on the upper door pads and spots on the seats where the rivets on my jeans pockets rubbed. F that.

Im still on the fence about it, but kinda leaning towards not doing the extra work right now

we will see

You cannot go wrong with an orange exterior and a black interior...

Make sure to use a quality dye. I actually DID dye mine black over a white original interior that was mostly shot. If you use the professional stuff, it will last. Make sure to clean it first. Also, you may want to coat it a few times. If you want, I can try to find a picture of the stuff that I used... it was special order.
