How to change the interior color???

I was wondering. Well, I did search for links, but couldn't really find anything specific. I am a recent member and my background is Corvettes. There is a company called Mid America that sells leather, cloth and vinyl interior restoration and or customization kits for Corvette interiors. Is there anyone who sells such things for RX8s? I realize there are far more Vettes on the road then there will ever be RX8s, but this is my THIRD consecutive Black on Black car!!

As God is my witness!! I didn't want to THAT, again!

Yes, it's gorgeous, when clean. Yes, the black interior is classy, if you haven't seen it over and over and over and over I looked at buying new seats. Do y'all realize that a new seat costs $1500.00??? Four of them = $6000.00, and that's not including the door and steering wheel trim!!

So, could some kind soul point me in the right direction, no I don't need a snide "Use the damn search function!!" I tried that!

Thanks!

any local custom shop can do a quality job at changing your interior for a fair price. to change the entire interior to leather i was quoted 1100.

just search around for a well respected custom shop in your area.

After I got my RX8, I was looking for "parts" and a site for interior work came up. Unfortuneately, didn't save it, but Katzkin looks familiar, Thanks for the start. Now all I have to do is convince the Finanace Minister...maybe the old, "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" will work.
