I have a 1988 M6 with gray leather interior. I would like to hear some options on replacing it. I need both front seats, drivers door panel, carpet in gray or an entire interior in black if anyone knows where one is. Otherwise, give me some advice on what to do.

I have to ask why on earth you would want a black interior down there in the Keys - My black M6 with Lotus interior is plenty hot enough....
But - to answer your question -
YOu'll want to find an interior off of an 88-89 car in Black - the complete interior - headliner, door panels; the whole enchilada (sic?) preferably one with sport seats like the M6 came/comes with. (folks will look at you funny if you have an M6 with comforrt seats. :stickoutt )
but the 88 and 89 models were the only ones with the rear A/C and cooler compartment. (they made the L6's in 87 - but there were so few of those imported that it'd be easier to find an 88-89 interior in black.)

I guess I want it to be as hot as the Dinan engine that is in it. I will take any color I can get I suppose. Not too many of these cars parted out, so I can't be choosie> \\

Does it have Dinan Mods? like chip/intake exhaust? Or did Dinan build it to a 3.8 or 3.9 stroker? (we're talking 370+ HP if stroker...) :redspot (What color is the exterior BTW? Red, Black or Blue?)
Further - You got any pics of the engine?

It's the thoroughbread - 3.9 L bored, stroked and balanced with rebuilt heads, new cams and the Dinan electronics. Blue color. Did you know it has NEVER been 100 degrees in the Keys?

Blue is my favorite American M6 color - i've got black. (red is my least favorite)
Is this a recent Dinan Build or is it original period? Either way - It must run like a raped Ape!
My black car heats up so bad from the summer time sun here that the entire cars gets heated up - Interior is even hotter than my old Delphin 633 that did have black interior..
I want to say that i've heard that it's never been 100 there - but am not sure - it's the humidity that'll kill you!
