MugenSspec · 08-04-2002, 12:35 AM

Do u guys think it can be done? Im talking about the dash, and door panels. Do you think it would fit? Let me know guys, thanks.

Well anything is possible but for all practical purposes, no.

Brady92/4WS · 08-04-2002, 11:41 PM

and why? The 4th gen interior is way nicer.

MugenSspec · 08-05-2002, 01:23 AM

i personally like the 5th gen dash and door panels better, and plus no one has ever put the 5th gen dash into the 4th gen, i wanted to be the first

you smokin crack bro?
just go buy a 5th gen

or if your really messed, buy a 5th and 4th gen, and cover the 4th gens body onto the 5th....

If thats even possible, but to me it seems alot easiar, than ripping dash apart, for one you'd have to replace your center console, steering wheels, all the gauges, power windows, everything.......

I don't even know why you'd waste the time to do something that ridiculous anyways....

IMO 4th interior rocks.....

Yes, the 4th gen interior is better imo cause the 5th gen interior looks just like almost every other car out there.

Even if you do do it somehow, i would imagine it would creak, rattle, shake etc..

CHOWEYT3T4 · 08-05-2002, 07:52 PM

how can you not like this?

MugenSspec · 08-05-2002, 08:06 PM

Whats with the saying i do drugs, I just want to be original. If you guys dont appreciate that then don't bother me. The question was "Can it be done?" not "Do you think it looks nice?" or "Do you do drugs?". I don't by the way. It costs 15k for a 5th gen, and 260 dollars for the dash and door panels, so you see why i just want the interior. I dont mean to be rude, I just want to know if it could be done, easily enough for me to do it and not a body shop. Thanks.

anything can be dont w/ the right hookups and enough money. myself, would not wanna spend that kind of money of a dash, but i support u for being unique. if u do it, i give u props, and SHOW PICS!!!!

I take it you don't know what a joke is. I would say the interior swap would cost about the same as a high milage 5th gen.

MugenSspec: I personally love the 4th gen lude...I lotta ppl still come into my car with this look in their eyes like its the coolest dash they've ever seen...but I always like looking at cool projects ppl do with their cars, and I think ur idea is very valid...so if u got the $$$ and time, do it and post up pictures!

triumph · 08-06-2002, 04:04 AM

DO IT! if you're into being different.
it can be done, and with the right modification, ANYTHING can fit!

*warning* my opinion is below...

IMO: $ spent on doing 5th gen interior converion can be spent on upgrading suspension, rims, stereo dvd setup, or something of the like.

I've had people that own 5th gens sit in the passenger seat of my 4th gen and drool. They want to put my interior in their car!

This is America, do your own thing.

anything can be done.... buddy of mine swapped a 2002 corvette interior into the old skool stingrays... rebuilt the whole engine so the thing is a beast...
