Swapping Interior
Umm...Ive been thinking of getting a 98-99 T/A for a cheap LS1 car. Ive realized the only reason I want to get an 00+ is bcuz I want the black(ebony) interior. So, my question is what all interior parts do you have to swap to conver to all the black. I know for sure the seats, dash, carpet, and door panels. Is that about it? And also what all interior pieces are compatible? Like are all V6 Firebird interior pieces compatible with each other? How bout camaro pieces?
Thanks
Thanks

Any Pontiac Firebird part will interchange from years 93-02. So no worries there, the dash cahnges a little bit, some of the parts behind the dash change, they use different conncetors....I did it, i have a complete 01 Ebony interior in my 1994. Here is all that needs to be changed if you are going from an LT1 to an LS1:
Dash (complete: dash, dash pad, cluster)
Console
Steering wheel
Sterring column
carpet
healiner
T-Tops
A-Pillar Trim
Door panels
Bottom trim
Sail Panels
seats
seat belts
rear trim
Now if you are just swapping from an LS1 to an LS1 and want to go ebony, you will have to change all of what i just said as well...everything needs to be changed...the only thing you won't have to change is the cluster or the front seat harness everything else needs to be swapped as the color is different.

Awesome! Thanks for your time answering my post! Now, how hard is it to swap the dash? It looks like a major PITA! And you said I dont have to change the cluster going from LS1 to LS1?
Thanks
