Default Suzuka Blue Owners...

I've found what I believe to be a pretty good deal on a 2003 suzuka blue S. It has 11,000 miles on the clock (owner suffers from a botched lasik surgery and can't drive) and he's asking 22K.

Anyway, I love the color, but I'm wondering if anyone's gotten tired of their interior. I mean, that thing is BLUE! I know it's personal, but are you long-term owners still happy with the interior?

Thanks!

You could always do a partial interior swap if it bothers you. Someone with all black might want to swap seats, door panel inserts and center console cover with you. (Mabey even carpets.)

They you'd each have a two-tone interior. I have seen the results from a partial blue swap and it looks HAWT both ways. (better than the all blue or the all black BY FAR.)

Eh, you get used to it. At least the interior is a different shade of blue.

you sound unsure, so i wouldnt do it. i had a suzuka. at times i didnt mind it, but others, it was just too much. really think about it before you go through with it. oh, and with the top down, the interior blings, and can really show the blue, which i didnt like.

i wouldn't say i'm tired of it, but i think it'd look better with some black door inserts. and a newer model radio door. i will be getting those items eventually.

Thanks guys. I think I'll pass on this one. The biggest draw was the super-low mileage and awesome shape it's in, but you're right, I'm already hesitant and I wouldn't become less so with time.

Find someone with a GPW+tan combination who will swap interiors with you. Here's what you'd each end up with:
