Even after 10 years, the interior is a work in progress. The dash was painted gloss black at the factory, and was flaking badly when I purchased it in February 2007. My wife and I stripped and sanded it, and I got some Brazilian rosewood stain but haven't done anything with it yet. I found a terrific trim shop here in Houston that reupholstered the seats, fitted new carpet and made and installed a new heavy canvas top -- vinyl just didn't look right to me.
