SO, i want to do a swap with someone for full black interior. What model imprezas should I look for if I want... Black Alacantra door cards - not nylon mesh Black carpet Black seat covers And what are my options as far as the seats go? I want to maintain my side airbag, and the seat height adjustment... Is there a difference between the sti and wrx front seats? as far as bolstering, etc? Is is posible to just swith seat covers for the front seats? Any and All help would be appreciated!! Lastly, if you're interested in doing this, I have an '05 STi with a 1yr old interior that's in great shape... I live in ATL, pm me if you wanna trade!
JL889 recently put a full Spec C black interior in his STI so maybe he can chime in. No WRXs come with the alcantara doorcards, you could probably find somebody local to rewrap them in black (or maybe even redye the alcantara black). 04+ WRXs have black doorcards matching the seats. Seats out of an 04/05 WRX are exactly the same design at the STI seats. 04 seats have a perforated pattern on them, 05 seats have a bunch of bars/lines recessed into the seats. Again, neither will be alcantara. I say my carpet is black but many of the hardcore JDM guys say that the WRX carpet is actually greyer instead of a true black.
I'm trying to keep this on the cheap... at least for the door cards and carpet... also, like people have said, it may end up a win-win situation if someone with a wrx wants the sti interior... spec c interior sounds great, but I definitely don't have the cash for that
I'd be afraid to get that interior dirty. Black shows a lot along with white. Good luck though. Definitely post up some pics.
I can set you up with a nicely painted center console & vents to add the whipped cream to the eye candy
