Redoing 98 civic interior
Im looking into redoing the entire interior of my 98 Civic coupe and i was just wondering if anyone had any tips from already doing it. I want to color the plastics black and silver/grey and recover the dash in black vinyl. Also wondering how hard it is to reuhpolster the front and back seats. Any help is appreciated.

take my advice if you paint the dash you will regret it...why dont you get a GSR dash or an ITR dash and put it in? That would look killer...and in response to the seats DONT USE VINYL its cheap it looks cheap and it feels cheap...
These are Katskins Leather Covers...They are real leather and make the car look very nice. This is a picture of them on my 2000 Civic Si

Is it possible to recover the dash in vinyl or suede or other fabrics. I want to color coordinate the entire car and part of that is all the plastics and headliner and carpet and dash and panels......so its inevitable that im gonna do it. I just wanna do it the best way possible. I saw this nice civic Si interior on one of the links for the interior/audio/security FAQ post. Ill post the link when i find it. Has anyone replaced the bulbs in there dash ever?

I bought the Katskins from someone who already installed them, just do a search for katskins, I believe the entire leather setup including arm rest and door panels was around $700 shipped.
In response to the lights...what kind of Civic do you have? a 99-00 Civic Si or other model? If its an Si its a pain in the ass to change all the colors if its an EX or lower then its semi easy just replace the bulbs, I would reccomend you replace the bulbs with LEDs so it shows up brighter you would be happier in the end.

Not sure, look around...I doubt it...you can get some high temp blue paint and paint the blubs, it might last...

Well look at Auto Zone, if they have blue replacement bulbs then get those otherwise at Auto ZOne they sell High Temp Spray Paint. Buy that and spray paint the bulb, it most likely wont fade because its high temp but it will dim the lights considerably...
