Black interiors- did they only come in the 99-00 EM1? I don't recall ever seeing black interiors in any other model.

 

I believe so. I've always seen gray, and dark gray in sedans and hatchback models. EX/DX/HX coupes as well.

 

Black interior never came in any 96-00 CDM/USDM Civic. Only overseas.

so the ones I have seen were swapped with JDM interiors? what were color interior options available for 96-00?

 

so the ones you've seen are probably painted black, why go through all the trouble of sourcing a complete interior and shipping here?

when a couple cans of dye and you will get the same look for cheaper

 

i was also wondering about his. i want a black interior. greys not my thing haha

'96-'00 coupes came with light gray (TYPE F / Excel Charcoal) and dark gray (TYPE K / Classy Gray). All '99-'00 Si coupes had the dark gray interior.

'96-'97 hatches came with light gray (TYPE F / Excel Charcoal) and dark gray (TYPE K / Classy Gray). '98-'00 hatches came with only dark gray (TPE K / Classy Gray.

'96-'00 sedans came with tan (TYPE P / Medium Taupe) and light gray (TYPE F / Excel Charcoal.

Here is a photo of an Si interior.

A lot of people either mistake or remember the Si interior incorrectly as being black.

It's more likely they have painted their interiors than swapped it all though. Sourcing a black hatch interior is difficult enough, much less trying to find a black coupe.

 

is this a stock interior color? http://www.jdmcarboy.com/index...=1254

That's a '99 CX or DX hatchback. The interior is mostly it's stock dark gray interior. The dash and seats and carpet are stock. The floormats are not.

The TYPE K / Dark Gray interior will often look similar to black or blue (like the column shroud in that photo).

 

Sometimes it can look black/blueish depending on how the light is hitting it. how sun faced it's been or how clean/waxed up it is..

You're not supposed to wax vinyl.

Even new Classy Gray can look blueish.

I've been a detailer before. I still hand detail on the side now.

ArmorAll is crap. It's sticky and attracts dust and grime.

Wax is not meant to make things shiny. Wax is a protectant and that's it's main purpose.

 

i've got a black dash in my UK ek4. but if i had a gary one i'd just get it painted black. much easer and cheaper for the same look

I've never had a problem using it, only gotten compliments on how clean the inside of my car looks. Can't argue with you there though, does seem to attract dust and grime a few days after it's applied.

 

in thailand civic 96-00 are gray interior too but we most change to black interior
because it same EK9.

I've never had a problem using ArmorAll either. But I did figure out there are better finishes than "shiny". I think shiny dashes look tacky.

And yeah, I'm told all the time that my car is clean.
