5th gen interior swap?

I like the new interior of the 2010 camaro and think it would be bad a$$ in my 1991 Z28. Has anyone attempted or researched the swap. Prolly wont work cuz the 2 cars are different dimensions. Just wondering.

Re: 5th gen interior swap?

the only thing that would look good in a 3rd gen from a 5th would be the seats. The rest would take alot of fabricating and just be a pain to make it fit and look right. Though it would prob look alot better than a 4th gen dash.

Why? I would say the 67-69 interior has better materials. The new Camaro interior is cheap as hell.

Re: 5th gen interior swap?

Put the challenger seats in there. My dads chally has seats that are better than lounge chairs. Those side bolsters hug you like a woman does when you give her money to go shopping. They just hug you after your done handing out the money as well.

Re: 5th gen interior swap?

Why ? Because it has a cheap, china made ipod-ish look ? The interior of a 5th gen has even more garbage, snap-tite model plastic than our cars... imo
