i have most interior parts but the major part im missing the headliner and door panel, the seller gave me carpets and said it was for the car but its in two pieces and i tried to put it in but it wouldnt fit in anyway so its probably not for that car, so im in need for a carpet now too.
sucks for me, o well.

if your pullin interior parts from other fds or other members. clean them...alot. ever been touched my Armorall paint will not adhere. Use ammonia to clean, 2000 grit sand paper, clean again. Adhesion promotor. primer if needed. paint and seal. or it will chip. i know from experience.

didnt think of it earlier but its not oem and it has no holes for screw or the hole opening for the shifter, and it looks exactly just like this aftermarket one(literally). and its not molded.
its too big to fit the trunk area

nice... another fd in the bay, welcome man
your best bet will be to put a "willing to buy" thread in the 3rd gen classifieds
good luck with the build and dont give up on it like the guy who sold it to you, youll be glad when its all done

welcome man, what i would do is just get tan pieces since they are easily attainable and paint them black properly as Da357Magnum stated.
Thats what im going to do, when i bought my fd the guy already had everything painted but started to chip cause he did a shitty job and carpeted over all the plasit panels in the back with black which is gay.
