Default Interior Upgrade - Early C4's

I'm sure when I was looking at purchasing my 85 just over a year ago I saw a conversion kit for the interior. Dash, Door cards etc... I can't seem to find anything now.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? or maybe some other options. Most of my interior pieces are cracked and I'm looking at other options than simply replacing them.

I know that its an 80's car but the interior really dates the early C4's.

Just my opinion, but it IS an early 80s car. If you freshen the interior it will look nice, and look how it was meant to look, and tie in with the rest of the car.

Do people replace 57 Chevy interiors with new Impala components?

I just finished doing this to my 86.

I put everything together, but Wilcox does offer carpet/door panel kits. I am sure they would work something out with you, depending on what you need to replace.

i guess your probably right - i just don't like spending money on replacements and would normally rather upgrade...

what about Carbon sticker kits - any pics of these? A cheap way to hide the cracks etc???

There's a vendor here that is selling pre-installed carbon fiber panels. I believe they do a swap. I've heard some of the stick on stuff can look pretty cheap.

Don't roll over so easily
