Question RHD and LHD compatible interior?

I was wondering if anyone knows if the center console, shifter trim and stereo trim of a RHD is compatible with LHD ?

Reason i ask , is because i was looking at some parts in Japan and the Stereo/Vents trim and the shifter cover look pretty neutral, meaning same as the LHD ones.





Thanks!

Yes they are identical, if there are differences they are so slight that it's not noticeable

Right? thats what i was thinking.

Im new to FCs and the one i got is missing all 3 so i cant even pull them to compare so thats why i wanted to ask here if anyone knows if it actually works.

Id like to see if maaaaaaaaayyyybe the clips are the ones on different spots but other wise they do look compatible.

It's an exact fitment I have owned 7-8 FC's one of which was RHD, even components specific to one side or the other appeared that they would probably fit in either car, I have several of the parts you listed shoot me a PM if you need anything

Oh yea? oh ok cool !!!

As of right now what im looking for are the 3 trims posted (with vents) and pretty much as much black plastics i could get that are in good shape. Most of the stuff thats still there its pretty old and has sun damage since the car sat outside for almost 3yrs lol.

all of that stuff is the same, LHD/RHD. the door panels, and everything in the rear is the same too. the seats are probably close enough.

biggest difference is the dash, meter hood, glovebox door, carpet

another thing you need to watch for is that most JDM cars were 2+2 so the B pillar trims are a little different, also they didn't have the mouse belts

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa????? Are you serious? The door panels are the same? how is that possible? i thought they would be different, maybe the manual ones i could see that but the ones with switches are the same? im def gonna look into that!!!

Yea, the dash / cluster bezel i noticed the turn signals and all that is opposite. Didnt think about the pillars. With all those parts that i could get from Japan , because somehow it would be cheaper even after shipping. Then i could just get the other ones from a part out here. Damn.... Im still suprised on the door panels

The switch is removable.
