Madness I tell you

I wonder how much effort and rewiring this would take.

An FD interior in a vert? And a S8 interior if I'm not mistaken. I like it.

As "cool" as that is... It doesn't even hit the sides of the car.... I think it looks like an FD dash in an FC.... Done poorly.

Although I love the FD interior, I am not sure if I like the curvy inside and the more boxy outside. It kinda seams out of place.

I do love the cockpit feel of the FD though.

I give it a

PS- do all the vents work? If not then I will have to change my judgement

there seems to me a fitment issue with the dash. I see white metal peeking through in some places. Wonder what he had to do so far to get it to where it is.

That's pretty cool. Props to a unique mod...JDM tyte, too!

Once he's finished, I'll bet it'll look much nicer...It looks to me like he didn't get the driver's door panel on yet in the 1st pic, hence the gap.

I'm not talking about the door piece. Look closer to the shifter, inbetween that and the passenger seat.

not a FC vert... No window supports and side windows.

Looks more like someone trying to make a FD vert or is using some other car... the windsheild angle looks wrong for a FC as well

Yeah.. having looked at it again... its pretty obvious.. shame on me.

However, being an FD.. you'd think they could have gotten the dash to fit better.

I still think it looks ugly (might be the AIDS talking though)

wouldn't have known, never owned an FC vert. wouldn't know what to look for, but the anchors on the side of the dash seem about right for an FC, but then again, i've never looked at an FD.
