Default SC300 Interior Swap

So I haven't seen a thread dedicated to this but I've been looking at swaping my tan interior for a black one. I would like to know if the interior parts (not exterior, suspension, engine, etc.) are interchangeable? In other words I would like to know if I can take the black dash, center console, door panels, etc. from an SC that's a 95+ and put them in to my 94 without any issues. I don't want to dump a bunch of money in to some parts that won't bolt up correctly or fit right.

I can probably see the dash being an issue and maybe swapping parts from an SC4 to an SC3 but I'm not sure. That's why I'm here to double check. Again thanks for all of the feedback.

If there's so many threads then point me to some and help me instead of being a smart ***. It does no one any good if you're just going to lurk and give these type of responses.

I'm not sure if that link doesn't work or if you're telling me to use the search function.

Come on people. If you cant contribute to the new member any more tactfully than this manner, then dont post. Keep searching other places on here to type.

Kire, there are many threads on here, including mine, that has done this swap over and over. Remember that only 92 had no passenger air bag and the 93 and up's did. Keep this in mind, when you pick out a dash. Many people have painted thiers with SEM, either flat or Landau black. This piant is very good and yet affordable. Can be bought at Oreilys, just ask for it over the counter. Prepping is the key to a successful, long lasting paint job.

You should be able to change the 94-95 without problems or vice versa. Just keep the same cluster.

Something I kinda did, that might help if you cant find a black 92 dash without the passenger air bag. I ended up just getting a black air bag passenger airbag cover with no airbag underneath and popped it on. I can take some pics for you when i get a chance.

Thank you 92. If I could find the information I needed I wouldn't post a new thread asking for help. I spent a few hours digging through threads that had the words interior swap or dash in them. Some parts like the dash and the wood grain are still good so I might keep those and install it on the dash.

Sleepy are you the same guy on Newcelica? If you could post pictures I would appreciate it

Ok thanks for the pics. I was looking at that and it would be a lot cheaper to do it this way. I'm going to start pulling all of the interior this weekend and scrap the bad panels, seats, everything. The dash is in great condition though and I'm sure someone here would buy it.

Be prepared to break some clips on the inside A-pillars. The plastic is brittle and snaps pretty easy. Take your time, label or organize all of the screws and bolts. It's going to be very difficult to find some specific parts. I can't for the life of me find OEM black floor mats or carpet for an affordable price. Keep your nose in the classifieds every day for new listings. Be prepared to find stiff competition from me though
