Default GTO interior on a 4th gen?

How come no one has attempted this? To me that would make 4th gens 100x better. Just curios is all....

well i think the gto, impala and 2010 camaro have the same platform. so if anything you could get a 2010 camaro interior but without heavy, heavy modifications it won't fit.

you're better off going to x to the z and have him and his boys work on a custom interior for you

I think I'd rather have GTO interior cuz it looks like 4th gens could come with it. The new camaro interior is really nice but to me it the only other car that interior would look nice in would be a first gen car.

The thought had crossed my mind a year or so ago when I purchased my interior. I wanna say that when I researched it, the biggest barrier was the width (don't quote me on that though).

You'd have to fabricate the rails/slides, but the seat itself was wider.

Yeah, Sliders are easy to fab. I'm worried about the trim piece to the center console (width) space. I dont think it's wide enough to accomadate GTO seats, or am I wrong? Just going from a visual.

ooh yeah lol door panels are a pain in the ***. i did my 4th gen dash on my car and my brothers car to have functional instrumentals rather than buying a set of auto meter gauges for everything.


other than that very time consuming
i think a gto seats have been installed in fbodys as well
