Interior

I've been checking out all the threads on consoles, etc. I think the 4th gen looks pimp, and I want to do it in my ride. I want to change to dash, console, and door covers that have the speakers from a 4th gen and put them in my 91 Camaro Convertible RS. What problems will I come across? Will the speedo and tach hook up ok, I can splice wires no problem, as long as I know which ones. The car is just sitting in the garage till mother nature sees fit to get rid of all the snow, so time is not a problem. Is there anything special I should look for when I go to the junkyard. And when I go to put the window switches in the ashtray, will I be able to fit my tonough cover swith(however you spell it) it's the part the goes up and the top goes under. I would hate to have to manually open it. It takes two people to pull the wires on both sides and it's a pain.

This swap is the biggest PITA you can possibly imagine. The console no problem ( that is with the 4th gen dash too ) , the dash will go in, but it will take a little modding ( some of the mounting points aren't the same ), the doorpanels are a big hassle , and the biggest problem of all is adapting the 4th gen guages to work with all of the 3rg gen components. Oh I almost forgot, I doubt 4th gen rear panels for a 'vert will fit, plus try finding some. I know I'm being general but that is because I haven't tried it. But 72BuickGSX has ( but not in a convertible ) he can probably tell specifics. Sorry to wreck your dreams, but you'd be better off enjoying your ragtop as is.

Yeah, what is this obsession with people on this board wanting to look "pimp" or use pimp in their names?

Why not call yourself a lazy, worthless, merciless exploiter of weaker human beings? A detestable piece of **** who should be executed immediately and his carcass left in the street to rot, as an example to others?

Does that sound about right?

I don't think they are actually pimps...[sarcasm]...I think it must be the "cool" word right now. Kinda like us adults yoosta say rad.

For the record, pimp means cool, awesome, radical, or anything of that nature. It's just a word that has taken on new meanings. If someone calls someone dumb, they aren't saying that the person is unable to talk. They are calling them an idiot.

Mike,

If you are a Christian, as you claim, then you are just making a funny. OK--ha, ha.

I simply have a hard time finding pimps and that ilk funny. Seen too much of those people and the things they do.
