I would love to start putting 4th gen interior into my car. Just wanted to see what some of your guys interior who have already converted or are on your way to converting. Thanks in advance, Jason

 

Come on. I know at least a few people have 4th gen interior.

 

Not the best pictures.

 

CustomX has a full custom interior in his IROC and recently swapped in a 4th gen dash and console.

Hopefully he'll catch this thread..

 

i am putting in the dash/door panels/consol
dash is in, working on the door panels
still have to find a console though, if anyone has one PM me

 

 

WTF???

Zepher, why did you put a Camaro steering wheel in a Trans Am??

 

I am just used to it, I guess.
This is one of my old cars,


I also have 91 Camaro rocker panels on my car too,

 

zepher you need to get done with your car, its gonna be badass when it is done.

 

4th gen seats.

 

Those look great, lets see some more

 

I did the seats last week. Pics are at https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...ghlight=deemax

"somehwere over the rainbow........"

 

Hey how hard was it to do the dash? I noticed you dont have the back part of the dash on? What are you goin to do?

 

pita. it fits, but you have to do alot of little clearancing, moving, cuting etc to make it fit "factory". Cant just pound and bolt it in or it looks liek ****.

The pad, i cut it to fit, and it didnt fit quite flush so ive been making a fibreglass one. Im about 3/4 way through with it. Just need to quit pickign up other prjects like wheel polishing, carpet replacement, figuring out why my 4th gen window switches dont work etc.....

 

Zephyr, did you have a problem with the window switch wiring? i keep trying to use the 3rd gen setup and i can only get it to go either up or down, but only when you press on the down side of the botton.

 

Well I've done the console and seats so far....

Hopefully when summer rolls around I can get the dash in....

:lala:

 

 

CustomX, have you gotten your tach to work?

 

oh yeah, tach, speedo, the digital odo, oil, coolant, voltmeter. Fuel didnt work on my ls1 cluster for soem reason (think its comp controlled) so i bought that phantom one.

 

Did you have to end useing the Dakota box for the LS1 tach to work? I think it was you that already had the Dakota box for the speedo and didn't need it and were going to try it for the tach?? Or did you have to buy Dakotas tach box?

Also I know its too late but the fuel guage is computer controlled I found out, on the LS1. But there is a way to remove the actual guage from the custer and replace it with an earlier conventinal GM fuel guage.

 

Yeah. the tach read wrong, its calibrated for a 4cyl. Used the dakota speedo interface, set it up as per their instructions online for the tach one, and walla, i can know what rpm im really at.

Same product, different stickers.

 

 

i sit there in 'aw' as everytime i see fatal88's car.

 

zepher, howd you put in the 4th gen door panels witha 3rd gen dash? I'd love to do that to my trans am

thanks

Josh

 

All I want are leather seats out of a 4th gen. Where did you guys find them at, junk yards or on the net or where?
Thanks

 

guys, i'm speechless . . they all look great-very impressed! just a question though-in the back of the car where the 6x9 speakers go-did you guys make that whole back part 4th gen too? cause i wanted to do that-
thanks
any pics!?!??!

 

Gotta admit..I love that 4th gen dash. But there ain't no way in h*ll I'm gonna go thru that kind of fabrication to make it fit. Well...not this year anyway

 

Those things are freaking awesome! Especially Fatal 88's car. I love the flames coming off the door handle on the door panel. Incredible! There is no way I would attempt to do the dash. I do want to do the center console, and maybe the seats. I have an 88 GTA. Will a 4th gen console bolt in without a lot of heavy duty mods? How about the seats? Will they bolt right in? Matt

 

I had no problem wiring up the switch panel. I just used an ohm meter to check which contacts were were doing what on the stock switch and did the same on the 4th gen ones and wired up the correspondiing wires. I just couldn't get the power mirror control to work right.

 

Easily. Just remove the old door panel, put this one on and don't close the door.
I abandoned the door panel project a long time ago. Will do it when I eventually get a 4th gen dash (I am still fond of the stock one).

 

k thanks zepher. I may have to mess around with that :-D

 

Oh, I may still have the wiring of the 4th gen switches in my, if I do, I'll let you know what wire goes where for easy hook up.
Also, when it's wired up, you can't have the 3rd gen and 4th gen switches plugged in at the same time, doing that and activating the 3rd gen switch will cause a short.

 

Maybe i have a fualty switch cus we took aprt my buds 97 ss switch panel and tested it to see what does what. I can only get it to move on the down side (with up or down wires hooked up to that side) nuthing on the up of either switches.

 

I have both of my switch panels for sale if you need them. The drivers side has both windows, power locks and the power mirror control, the passenger one only has window and locks.
Email me an offer on them.
And if it isn't raining outside tomorrow, I'll go check on the wiring since I need to figure out how to mount an auto shifter on my car since it was a manual.

 

im not in the market for the switch panels. I have the switches mounted in the dash where the traction control/fog light switches woudl have been.

 

I meant the switches themselves.

 

finally found a dash pad, that should be here next week, and my other "lost seat" finally showed up so hopefully the interior will be done shortly

 

last one

 

CustomX, how long did it take you do swap everything?

 

Well i spent one day ripping all the old stuff out, re mounting the electronics to the heater box area, test fitting, bending the old mounts etc

Next day i had the dash and console in.

Worked on the wiring for several days, whilst fine tuning the fit of everything to make sure it sits flush and looks factory.

 

CustomX Interior = :hail:

I never get sick of seeing those pics.

 

I know this isn't a 3rd gen but it is a really cool swap to put a 4th gen dash into.4th gen dash into a fiero

Here is another.10 page link going through everything
Page 4 is where they start getting into the firebird dash

 

IHI that is exactly what I planned on doing if I swaped in a 4th gen dash, screw the 4th gen gauges, use some autometer's

 

Yeah, it looks good

 

Where did you get those seats from custom x??? They are pretty sweet.

 

Mr Mikes, i was the prototype/guinea pig for that design, in fact the pictures on his site are of my car/seats.

 

How much does somethin like that run. Is it 4th gen seats or just reupolstered 3rd gens. Do you have a web site I could look at?? Thanks

 

I've got fourth gen front seats already, I am going to pick up a dash, door pannels, and console soon, I really like the look!
