I dont have my camera on me but i will take pics of mine, it came out looking stock black and the dye holds up great, I bought it off ebay for 10.00 bucks a can and is a pretty good brand, it's been dyed for over a year and still looks factory, i even sprayed the steering wheel and put a cover on it so the saddle won't wear down until i can afford a fr500 wheel, the only thing i recoment is buying Real black parts for the high wear areas ( Center console, door handles, door sills, and kick panels.) because when they wear or scratch you will see the old color underneath...Probably the BEST mod I have done to the car.

Oh and dont bother with the adhesion promoters and primers, just buy some de-natured alcohol and rub it clean, it will stick foever, I just bought Vinyl stuff.

i converted my black/tan interior to completly black using Duplicor Interior Vinyl & Carpet spray i bought at Advance for like $5 a can. i think i used like 6 cans total, but it matches PERFECTLY and i'm really happy w/ the results. make sure you prep well--take all the pieces out (makes cleaning and painting them MUCH easier--plus you can take them apart and get the paint in all the nooks and crannies) and clean them VERY well. i used 3M dirt, grease, and wax remover (located where the paint was in the same aisle).
a few things you'll have to do to complete the look:
oem black carpet
oem black steering wheel (got a mint leather one from a 98 cobra)
oem black door sills
seats--either get a rsd for the back like i did, get your stock seats recovered, or find a deal on some oem black seats/black racing seats.
reason being is that these parts are the ones you come into conact w/ the most and will eventually flake/crack if you just repaint them. i tell you from experience.
don't have any pics of it before, but it was the black/saddle interior--hate saddle.

yeah--the Duplicolor was cheaper and right in front of me. i woke up on a saturday at 10am, bought the stuff at 10:45am, and finished by 3pm.
DO NOT USE THE LAQUER.
I did mine and the vinyl matches PERFECT. But the laquer that i sprayed the harder surfaces with seems to scratch easier, and has a blue tint to it. use the vinyl all around.

true that--i sprayed everything w/ the "vinyl" spray (as mentioned above) and you can see the results for yourself.
