You cant get a PWP DC5 with black interior in the US. Only Canada and Japan.

Epic. Are you gonna convert the entire interior to black as well, including seats and the other interior plastics?

to Acura for not giving us white on black. That's one of the best combos!

cause majority of Americans think about dirt showing up because they don't like to clean their cars and black is easier to tell if its dirty then tan

Is that the real reason? I wonder why we didn't get it. Makes me mad. And to the peeps asking about my rear panels and such. Yeah I've already got all that in. Dash was last. Only thing I need now is seats. Just ran short on funds for now. It's all cleaned up now though, so more pix coming soon.

Very easy. Not hard at all, duplicolor makes an interior paint fabric and vinyl paint, And that fusion paint that bonds to plastic also works great. Just take your time.

Have you painted anything with the black Duplicolor interior paint? I'm interested to see your results. I used it on my DA's tan to black conversion and it came out a bit too shiny...which wasn't really the problem for me. The bigger problem was, despite my prep, the paint isn't very sturdy--it scratches and chips off when anything hits it. And using more coats just makes it super shiny
