I also have a 95 with black interior and a tan cieling. But consider yourself lucky, because when I bought my car, the rear seats are black, but my driver and passenger seats look like they came out of an earlier year MX-3 (a 92 or 93?). They are like tan/grayish and pink. Something like that. Looks really weird, but they're comfortable atleast. But your tan cieling is normal.

Didn't know that the headliner came in tan also and it appears on the newer MX's too. I've only seen the gray A and B pillars and headliner and no tan. Wondering if it's another one of those Canadian/American differences like the leather seats - heated vs non-heated. I plan on finding suitable paint for the pillars to change from grey to black and re-cover the grey headliner to black also. Then I'll finally have every interior colour set to black.

I believe Gro Harlem deserves the credit here. He inspired me to go that route. *Many thanks Wil*. He has done the recovering of the headliner and I believe the repainting of the A & B pillars. I think it's covered in his site. This mod will probably be a winter project for me.good_glory wrote:I was thinking about doing that too actually, just wondering how hard you think it would be? Has anyone done it successfully themselves?jschrauwen wrote:re-cover the grey headliner to black
Any plans on how to do it John?
Strange that the MX never had black as a colour for the upper interior parts. I guess my 02 Protege' with the same upper colour (grey) is proof of that.

Lol!
Actually they purposely made the pillars & headliner tan. Look at pretty much every car on the planet sold today and you'll notice they are always colored similarly. My mom's 93' Camry w/blue itnerior is the only car i can think of that doesn't have lighter colored a pillars & headliner.
Reason they do it is b/c it makes the car feel more airy and welcoming. I read some s--- about it in a magazine b/c somone emailed them the same exact question.
I know all mazdas since the 80's have been doing it. My ol' protege, my buddies 2001 protege, etc.
Before my car was even registered I had that s--- dyed black and headliner redone in black.
Here is a pic of how it used to look. Right now I have no headliner b/c I bought a non-power-seatbelt headliner that I have yet to recover (ran out of fabric + too lazy to go to fabric store to get more).

ahhh yes good point but maybe even light gray??
well i'm thinking of cars in general ahah even the tan interior mx-3s make me wanna puke
the brownish red i've seen in most cars from early 90's absolutely horrid
they should stay within, dark blue, gray, black, some tan does work but to an extent
