Change black/red to black interior?
Hello all -
A local dealer has an '06 Galaxy Grey RX-8 with the black/red leather interior selling for a pretty good price.
I like everything about the car except the black/red interior - the red is too flashy for me.
Is it possible to change out only the red panels, steering wheel, and seat cover parts for black ones, or will I have to pay for a whole new interior?
My other option is to buy an '07 that is exactly how I want, but that's about $4000 more than this new '06 costs.

You should be able to find those parts, they all come off easy enough. The most expensive parts will be the seats unless you can find an upholsterer who is willing to fix the red panels.
I have an all black interior '06 Galaxy gray. I kind of wish it was black/grey instead of black/black though. Sorry, I don't want to trade.

Dude, I live in Minneapolis and have a 04' Gray RX8 with Black Leather seats. I'd gladly swap my Black seats for your Red seats. Is the driver side seat electronically controlled and does it have seat heaters? If so they're a match.

Would you want to switch the side panels and possibly the steering wheel as well?
Yes, the driver's side is electronically controlled and has heated seats (it's a GT).

Depends on how difficult that would be.. and if they'd even fit.. not sure if there's any difference between the 04 and 06. I'd switch everything if you want.. or just seats.
Do you actually live in Mnpls or a suburb? I'm in Centerville which is about 7 miles north of White Bear Lake. I work in Arden Hills so we could always just meet somewhere. Popping the seats out should be pretty simple. I've removed the rear seats, those are ridiculously easy to remove.

Oh and I have an instruction manual on how to take off evrything, so no clip things get broken, especially for all the panels.
