[QUOTE="mr. b_98GT, post: 15561085, member: 150353"] The switch was in 99. 94-98 'stangs had a true black interior. I have a 98GT, and the interior is a true black color. In 99, they went to a charcoal. I believe the color is called Midnight Black according to Ford. The only thing I can think of as far as why they went from a true black interior to a dark charcoal one is because of fading. This is just speculation on my part, but overtime, a black interior has the potential to fade if subjected to the elements on a regular basis (i.e. sunlight). A black interior will eventually show varying degrees of black, unless of course the car lives in a garage most of it's life and/or the interior is properly protected in some way. A dark charcoal interior would still be subjected to fading over time, but I'd guess that the variance would not be as noticeable when compared to a true black interior that has faded. That's my .02 cents on the subject. I've also thought of finding mint 98 black interior pieces and swapping out the interior of the 03. My dream car has always been a 67 GT Fastback painted in Midnight Blue with a black interior, but Sonic Blue with a pitch black interior would be a good compromise. I like the dark charcoal color, but I think it would be cool to have an all true black interior, and only those that know these cars or Mustangs really well would notice that it was changed. [/QUOTE]
