i'm wanting to change my interior color from maroon to either gray or black, which colors were offered on 4 doors? the other question is would it be easier to paint the whole dash and components or find a donor car and swap everything? i'm kinda thining the latter b/c of the doors, deats, and roof (which is tan)

No it is really easy, but the ony thing is that I could not get my steering wheel off............

you dont have to take the wheel off, you can just drop the steering column, ther are 2 bolts holding it up under the dash, take those bolts out, and sccot ur seet back and it drops the the floor and out of your way :-D

hey jay, i have a 90 civic lx 4dr and my interior is black and grey, the dash is black, mid counsle is black, the door handle area is black, then its grey under that, then the speaker area is black.

The only thing i hate about taking everything out and driving around is the fact there is no music in the car

k i was fuking around and painting my cell phone cover and i messed the paint up and i used paint thinner to take the paint off.......i took all the paint off and like 2 min later i looked at it and the plastic was all cracked im just telling you this so if you fuk up you interior dont used paint thinner to take the paint off i guess just wait for it to dry and sand it out......

[Hatchin]

Thats ass man......sorry to heaqr that but thanx for the advice

To clean the paint off you can use Pro Form Plastic parts cleaner. It is actually to clean the plastic and vinyl before painting it also opens up the pours in the plastic so that the dye soaks in. but it also takes off paint if you screw up!
