Pretty sure that dash was painted/dyed black...

Yup. New style black interior was a one-year-only thing in '91. All the panels in my car are factory 91 black except the dash, which came out of my maroon interior 95Z. I dyed the interior black in that car 5ish years ago with DupliColor vinyl dye. I have since gotten smarter and used SEM dye for anything I need. The DupliColor is ok for something low-traffic like the dash, but anything you touch regularly like the console arm rest and door panels you really need SEM dye.
Here are some old pictures of the interior project in the '95: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/657025/3

SEM FTW! My mirrors are painted with SEM Trim paint. Its the semi gloss rather that uber shiny.

ok so how would i go about dieing it and how much money am i looking at for the die alone and is there ne thing elce i would need?

I dont feel like typing, but I found this with a 2-sec google search.

I don't like how people call it a dye. Its a spray paint, and its just a good adhesion property. I really doubt it actually dye's the vinyl.

It's actually a flexible paint more than a dye as it really doesn't penetrate the surface.

But the SEM is the stuff to use.

So which would you rather do. Pull the dash or pull the windshield? LOL!

I half-assed it with the 95 and all it left was a tiny bit of red at the very front of the windshield that was barely noticeable. No one ever noticed it at any meets. But when I pulled the dash out to swap it in my 95 I scuffed the whole thing and did it right.

Dave gave me some things to look for with the rich problem. I borrowed a fuel pressure tester today and got 53 with the key on engine off, 45 idling, and 55 idling with the vac line unhooked from the FPR...just like it should be. So I gotta pull the UIM & check injectors because one of them is probably leaking. He said it's more common than you'd think with the Multec-2s. But that's ok...cause I have to pull the UIM now anyway to port it to 65mm!


I also finally got some pics of last weekend's mod: tinted turn signals. I had this on my to-do list with the 95Z for about 3 years, so only a year with this one isn't bad...haha

Red up front? Isn't that illegal?

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Yeah. But I've had red side markers for about 5 years.

Red side markers are a bit different than red front blinkers.

Just tell the cop that its a very badly faded orange. LMAO
