Crazy Idea?!

So I was riding in my girlfriends new Acura TL lastnight and I got a pretty crazy idea I think I may just gove the ol'college try. I thought the interior of the car was really nice and I liked the disc changer. So, I thought why not find a crappy totaled RX-8 at a junkyard steal the interior and install/mod it to fit in my RX-7. Think it would work? Are there any major things I need to look for when doing this?

Just a thought feel free to bash it.

I see hardly any indash CD changers. Most are installed behind the seat or in the trunk and you have deal with the crappy cartridges. Just a thought.

I'm high and even I realize that would be a very bad and expensive idea.

Maybe I'll swap the interior of my dodge ram into my wife's gtp...yeah that would be a good idea.

I wonder if I could swap the Interior of the CX-9 into my car, including the third row seat. That would be so sweet.

Best solution is to take it to a upholstry (spl chk) shop and have them do what you want.
