Tan or black interior???

If your going black, a full OE conversion would be a Idea and storing the current tan interior.
That will not effect the value of the car as you could swap it back.

Nothing is ever the same once you start tinkering with it, so I would say that a swap will only not impact the value if someone wants the black interior.
Black/Tan!
Give it a two-tone look, luxury and sporty.

^Love it, Caroline! I think it looks great in a Berlina but don't think it would look so hot in long beach blue pearl.

Thanks Kyras!
I'm not sure if it would look hot or not but I know one thing it will look much better than what it is now. The full tan just look too boring and not so clean looking. Why not try it out before wasting all the money doing the full black? You never know it might come out very nice. He can start there and if he don't like it he can always go all the way with the black and it will be a couple less things for him to worry about
I think that car is pristine... Leave it be! If you want blue/black then buy one that way. Just good advice-
+1 on that. Put black mats in it and call it done.

Where did you locate the black plastics? I was thinking of doing something like black carpet, black door speakers, and re skin the seats with somthing like this:

^Do the photos make it look a little more orange than it is in real life?
Damn the interior of that maserati is hot. The leather is probably the same leather that I've seen on ferraris. Really classy looking. Makes the nsx tan color looks like crap.
From an owner of a pure 100% stock NSX, and a purist, I'd say leave as is. The tan compliments most colors red, LBB, black Green etc.......The tan is nice, I have black but would have preferred the tan interior.
No Maserati's are that orange it looks awesome i believe certain BMW individual interiors come in a similar tone
I've seen it in Bentley GTC's as well very nice look.

A prime member with a cherry 91 has contacted me and is willing to swap my tan for his black. Does anyone know if there are any parts that will not swap or be different in any way?
+1 Again personal preference. Leave as is. I would accent the seats, door panels and center console with brown stitching. I say enjoy the tan interior for a while and decide later, the tan will grow into you.
My 1 cent. Good luck!

Im not knocking tan, I know myself and tan is not for me. I have the chance to swap it out so why not take it. I just want to know if everything will swap over from a 91-03

Floor mats are different. I believe this is what the old ones looked like:
You also will no longer have the perforated leather, the older models had the gathered leather seats.

Its your car, so I agree do as you choose. Just hope you aren't planning on a quick sale as this will diminish the resale. I know I wouldn't buy a 2003 with a swapped out interior.

Thanks for the info but the mats are not a consern. Im really talking about plastics.
I dont think it would hurt the value much if I can document the change was done out of personal choice and with all OEM parts. Would'nt bother me at all if the seller could prove there was no damage and most people prefer black anyway.

Tan interior 100%. IMO black shows more dust, etc, is hotter in the summer and cracks in leather are more visible.

This is pretty clost to what Im going for just in red.
Wouldnt this look so much better with a black interior? I just think the tan interior does not match the aggressive look of the exterior
