But painting an entire interior is gonna be tedious work. It could be done, but I wouldn't want to do that much work for a color change. I'm lazy.

I bet the one thing that every 5gen civic owner had thought when they first got their car was this, "Why the hell is my dash board grey, while everything is _______?" This probably doesn't apply to folks with a grey interior already, but to the others that either have black and especially tan, why didn't they bother to match that part of the car with the rest of the interior?
