They seem hard to find if you wanted to swap the red or black ones with tans ones.

go on s2ki, there are probably a couple of people on there who would swap interiors + cash on your end, or maybe find a wrecked s2k and use its interior. talk to reebs, he might be able to source you some

He wouldn't happen to be close to the midwest would he?

My seats are in mediocre shape and I'm far too lazy to actually do it.

Not a huge fan of the tan, but it looks allot better with black carpet and mats installed.

I'm not crazy about the tan either. Stains a lot easier than most interiors. GPW's came with tan interior till 05. It'd be interesting to see a tan interior on a BB s2 .

It took me months to find some hides that would match (very nearly) the OEM leather. I got incredibly lucky with both the color and the quality of the hides. It's so evenly colored and so soft and pliable that I could not resist having a wheel done. I bought one on eBay for that. I assumed that if I did not like it I could sell it on eBay to somebody with GPW/Tan colors. At the same time, I had the shift boot and some shift ***** (not shown) done.

I have two steering wheels. The original one is still black. I've swapped them a couple of times to see what I like but the feel of the tan wheel is just to good to give up.

After I made up the radio door, the clamshell console panels and the domed S-pod speakers, I had a local shop make the headrest units and cover the grey, rear headrest plastic panels in nicely stitched hide.

I may have a set of visors nicely stitched in hide to try that out as well.

The drawback to tan is that you have to clean, clean, clean it all the damn time.

I had a cloth tan interior in my old 4dr eg one time, I didnt have to clean all the time. You meaning the seats and door panels are the one that needs to be cleaned all the time?
