Message	I did not want to spend a ton of money to change out my old gray/black tweed looking interior (I was looking on e-bay for suede pieces) and found a great solution. I went to Wal-Mart and bought some powder dye for clothes. I mixed it according directions, except instead of soaking the cloth, I filled the dye in a generic spray bottle and soaked the panels in my garage. They are now jet black and look great. It came to a total cost of about $3.00 (2 packs). I will post pics later because I have to get a digital camera.
