daytonboi Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 This is my first post. I've searched and searched and probably need to search some more. Anyway I'm hoping to be the proud owner of a 96 Lumina and I wanted to know what interior pices could be swapped between cars. I would really like the interior out of a Regal but would settle for an Intrigue, GP or Impala. When i say interior I mean everything dash, door panels seats, the works. And then I would also like to know if any exterior body parts like bumpers are swappable. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Seats and what not will swap over just fine between 2 and 4 doors. The plastic panels will be different, door panels will be different, etc... from a 2 door to a 4 door. IMO, a Regal interior swap would be a good way to go, especially in leather. Those seats are comfortable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 ^^^ I will agree with that. the seats in my sisters GS are way better then the ones in my GTP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 True that. If you want to go an easier route, find a Lumina/Monte Carlo with leather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremerevolution Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 ^^^ I will agree with that. the seats in my sisters GS are way better then the ones in my GTP The ones in my Regal were comfortable as well, but good luck taking a turn. They didn't hold you in worth a damn. I ended up selling them for $30 because the lower back support was terrible (had back problems as a result), and the leather was tearing. The moment I put in the racing seats, my lower back problems went away and haven't come back in the 2 years I've had them in there. Problem solved.

BXX Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 96 Lumi?? Need a GP dash with teh HUD and DIC and CS Leather seats!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daytonboi Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Thanks for all the info everyone I will keep all that in mind when I go j/y diving for parts. Uncle had 96 Monte Z34 and 96 Lumina LTZ and I can attest to the comfort of the leather but you had no support at all and you slid around like no tomorrow. I want a HUD but I was thinking more along the lines of a 97-02 Regal Dash just for a more classy look. But before I do any of that I need to see what wrong with the engine and I'll discuss that in another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 You'd have a lot of trouble swapping a '97+ interior into the car. '88-96 will interchange no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 here's what i know. someone swapped a 97+ regal dash into a 90-94 style lumina, and it required extensive firewall modification, including even being unable to use the stock wipers! the hvac box is the same in ALL gen 1 and gen 1.5 cars (with minor variations for auto vs manual vs dual zone climate controls) and having removed a dash from a 95+ monte carlo, it appear to be the exact same firewall as the gen 1 cars.

White93z34 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Just about anything is possable, like Ken said someone swaped an ENTIRE 98+ regal GS interior into a 1990 Lumina. so all in how much work you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
