No matter what you do, you really should consider keeping your seats unless you do not care about future originality. Black interior components are not the most common, but they were standard color choice. Seat skins for the SRT are a different story.
Swap the seats and the door panels for now. Leave dash and console alone as that is the hardest to do. Drive it that way for a few weeks and let it sink in, then make a final decision.
The collector's aspect has been the one thing to keep me from making the swap
weeks ago...
As we discussed, the seats are the biggest motivator for me to perform the swap. The mis-matched logos
really bother me, and the bolster has considerable wear. On my cedar seats, they're pristine. Not only do I dislike the Alcantara for entry/exit reasons, but it holds smells as any cloth seat would. Perhaps a "top-to-bottom" cleaning would change my mind...
Regarding resale, I'm not letting that dictate the majority of my mods. Keeping extra parts on hand works great if you have infinite room to store them... if you don't, you have a wife that asks you "when are you selling that ****?"... I've been hearing that a lot, lately
Chances are, IF I ever sold the car, it would be to another forum member. This thread would be linked in the sale, so they know the history of the car. Each of the owners of this car was a forum member, and the history has already been well-documented.
I may try the door panel/seat idea first, to try it on for size. Those are the two quickest things to swap, and would let me get a feel for the color in the SRT.
