for $200 that's not a bad deal.

I take it you're doing the labor yourself?

Depends on how bad you want the black interior.

yeah he wants me to pull it.

but is there any interior differences from a 94 dx (mine) and a 92 dx (dealer) other then the dashboard airbag that i should worry about?

and is it hard to remove the seatbelts?

I couldn't think the differences are that much. I don't know much about eg's though. bump for a 5th gen owner.

seatbelts are easy to do, that's a good price, cheaper than you'd find it all at a junk yard.

The glow box's are different due to the air bag but that isn't going to matter much since you are swapping the entire interior

new racing seats... honestly bro, eBay. they have really cool seats there, and you'll get them for a steal price. this is one of those things you can get on eBay, cause a seat can't really break, you know what I mean. check it out bro.

^ this genius has a point. i love the stock del sol seats, but when the guy before me was working on the car, he sat on the seat with like grease on his pants. i must part ways with my lovely OEM seats. i might get leather type-r seats though.

$200 is a pretty good deal, and everything should swap without problem.

be prepared to put some hours in to pull the dash.

If you know how to pull the dash, its isnt bad at all, especially if you take your steering wheel. Usually only take me about 30-45 minutes to pull the dash out on a 92-95. Since you will be taking two interriors out, and putting them both back in, you will definatley need to set aside a few hours. I can take one out and put one in usually in about 2 hrs because unfortunatley ive done it too many times before The only difference is the already stated ^^^ glove box size, but since you are swapping the whole dash, you dont have to worry about this. Everything will bolt up fine, and good luck to you! $200 isnt too bad of a price at all, especially if its mint!

would be great... if it was $150 shipped!
he'd probably use WAY more than $50 in gas driving to TN.

After pulling the dash in 20 minutes the first time, I pulled a second dash in 10 minutes.

$200 is well worth it. Cost me $800 in parts to convert my interior. I had to ship some stuff from the mainland. However, I bought some extras like the optional armrest and audio console, as well as Del Sol seats.
