Who's seen or done it?
Only one I've seen was a blue fox body coupe that had a gt500 interior and powertrain swap.
If I can, I'd love to update my interior a bit. I've seen indash, trim, gauge and nicely done reskin's, cages, etc and if a retrofit is too complicated I'll likely go the traditional route, but where there's a will, there's often a way...
Anyone know where I could find the dimensions of an 05-14 and 2015+ dash? Salvage yards have them cheap so I was thinking to buy one, do some measurements/test cuts/etc and chop it a bit to find the right sizing/brackets/clip setup, then maybe order a fresh one to properly alter, or just reskin the modified one of its not too far worked over to clean up/use.
Door wise, I know I can have a local shop build or alter any similar sized door panel, so I'm not too worried about that, and rear seat wise I'm gonna just have it fabbed up from a 2005+ (chopped/trimmed) assuming I do change the dash and doors. Airbag and safety will comply with current code for a 2003 car so it will be fine.
Why all the trouble? Just something I've not really seen done and I'd like to slowly make my car a bit of a 1/1 if I can in tasteful ways. No fauxrrari or lamborgienni stuff. Like I said, the blue fox body with a gt500 interior was really nicely done. I'd wanna do it right like he did if I did a retrofit.
