Do I think it is worth it? no. will you enjoy it? perhaps... what is the best solution? buy another car... swapping your interior and finding all the parts is such an epic waste of time that could be used finding a car in overall better condition, unless your chassis in museum status don't waste your time, undoubtedly there is a lower mileage legend than your own there

Then again you are in Europe so it is a tough call, most people wouldn't notice a color swap I would swap some parts and wrap others, like I would rewrap the seats in brand new leather and whatnot, but the console I'd replace etc etc..

I agree it is a LOT of work but mostly in finding ALLthe parts. You have that portion already taken care of. Be careful in removing the A pillar and C pillar covers as they get brittle and the tabs have a tendency to snap off. The car would look absolutely stunning with a green exterior and black interior. Oh and I think people who know your car would notice the change. It is that drastic.

Well I didn't notice you already had all the parts, well swap the interior in you lazy bum, but first take out the type F interior so that you can learn which parts to avoid breaking lol and swap em, shouldn't take you more than a day

why would you swap unless you want your green car to have a blk interior? I mean is the blk on blk wrecked or not operable? or is it a parts cars? I guess I'm just thinking if it isn't broke don't fix it unless you want a blk interior on the green car.

It is alot of work; if you know what you are doing and know your legend's interior you could take it apart rather quickly, but getting everything back together will take longer. Only other thing I notice is that the type F is and LS/GS while the Type A is an L, so you will have more much more labor swapping the black leather into the other seats to keep your heated seats and power.

Lots of work but you could knock it out in 2 days. If motivated to get it done and have experience of course.

The type 'F' looks good, why swap unless there is something broken....
