Default Gto interior in a f-body?

I've been wanting a new car and I can't decide between an f-body or a Gto. The biggest thing that draws me to the Gto is the interior. Was wondering if anyone has done or heard of anyone putting Gto interior in a f-body?

The interior will not work, the seats are to wide to fit in the F-Body.

I was also wondering about door panels or the dash. I think the f-body interior is cheap feeling.

ii highly doubt door panels / dash interior will fit. . . and if it did it would look highly out of place. And would probably require alot of modding.

I too hate our interior, the interior is about the only thing I like about the GTO's. I ordered some vinyl to wrap my interior, I'm going to try to "drowned out" the cheap feeling a little.

A local guy has them in his NBM and it is pretty awesome. I know what you mean though, I LOVE the interior of my wife's GTO and there is no way you'll ever get a 4th Gen F-body to feel like that (spacious and nice).

HOWEVER, the look of my car (exterior) just blows the GTO styling out of the water IMHO...

You can make a F-Body interior nicer and a GTO exterior better but I think the F-Body will never show as much improvement on the interior as a GTO can show on the exterior so I would go with a GOAT and then get some CCW's, a splitter, etc...

Does anyone have a link to a thread with any details about putting GTO seats in an F-body, almost considering doing it to my Formula
