anyone ever see a fc with fd interior swap?

I saw a few small pics of an fc vert in Japan with a FD dash in a Young Version magazine. Anyone else ever seen this or an FC like it?

damn I wanna see that

the must look so smooth and nice.
the fc is my daily, so it would be nice to have it looking sexy and not cracked plastic.

someone have pics?

it doesn't make the car faster, but I'd still want a dope interior.

ya my 91 has a really nice interior but i don't want to swap it into my 87 TII because then the 91 would look like ****. Post the pics or a link of the fd interior swap.

Exactly how hard is this? What would be a rough estimate of cost for converting a normal interior to leather? What all has to be reapholstered, besides seats? Thanks, I've been considering doing this for my car.

Just buy the factory leather pieces and swap them over, no harder than removing and reinstalling the same stock part.

I have a feeling that doing the FD to FC interior swap would be a bitch and not worth the time.

Looks nicer as long as the buttons & ***** haven't already fallen off or rattled apart.
