I have a 91 mariner blue miata with black interior, the dash is cracked, floor mats shot, etc.. I have a parts car with a tan interior thats in better shape, whats everyones thoughts about swapping door panels, dash, and floor mats????

 

[Phatmiata]

Sounds rad to me!!!! Do it man!!!

 

[boogie van]

you've got nothing to lose, could you even get a mariner blue with a tan interior from the factory? I havent seen it. I saw you only mentioned floor mats, if you are going tan I would swap the carpets too.

 

[slutz4]

no it was never offered from factory, I could do carpet to, its just a real pain, plus black carpet doesnt show dirt nearly as bad

 

[Phatmiata]

Swap the seats, carpet, dash, and all, that would look nice, but yeah keep the black floor mats, the tan ones get dirty too easy

 

[slutz4]

I think on the door panels I might take both apart and have the black up top and the tan on the bottom. The dash is off a 92 so It has the painted dash, I think Im gonna repaint the top and middle strip black so it would meet up with the doors. I just dont want the tan to be to overwhelming.

 

[slutz4]

actually I just realized the middle part of the 90-93 dash just pulls out so I can put my black dash section there anyways

Strangely, one of the Gates diecast MX5 models was mariner blue with a tan interior...

 

[That7guy]

I dont know. I like how my black interor matches the blue. I think if i had a tan i would switch it out. But maybe becasue my otm has a tan interor and im bored of it.

 

[Fritch]

hey you'd definetly have something original and thats a big plus

I saw one on ebay (6 months back) and it looked awesome!
Do it!

 

[slutz4]

Im still undecided, I just found out my passenger tan interior panel is pretty torn up, so Id have to buy one = /

Might just get mazdaspeed floor mats, and try to find another black dash, btw if anyone wants a tan dash and other tan trim gimme a pm or look in my for sale section

 

[LagunaRoadster]

Cool. I say do it. I'm partial to my black and blue interior, and wouldn't personally like it, but I think if it's an opportunity to be completely different, take it

 

[Bryan]

Go for it. Definitely one of a kind

 

[mikey]

I think it would work - have you considered a tan softop as well???

 

[slutz4]

The dash and door panels are already in it, the car is ran without a soft top so Im not to worried about the soft top color, anyways Ive always been more fond of the black softops

 

[raen419]

Imo, it'll look fine. Do it.

I'm partial to most any interior color combo as long as it is accented properly and uses the right tones of colors. The red/black int. of a S2k is what I plan to go for once I get around to messing w/ my interior.
