If you're talking about the dash, yes it can be done, no I don't know how to do it. colinsmx3 here did it, you can ask him.

now I honestly think you're here just to piss people off by asking questions that have obviously been answered. Whats next, "Does this engine fit in my car" and "Will my tranny bolt up?" and "where do I get the projectors, and do they come in black?" and "Can I use an RX7 motor? Will it bolt in?" and "What kind of bumper is this?" and "what is a body kit, is it hard to make?" and "I want a turbo charger, can I have a complete list of what I need?" and "Where can I get aftermarket guages" and "Is it normal for my car to run at 3krpm at highway speeds?"

Yes it can be done.
Yes it's alot of work.
No it is not bolt on there is some modification.
Yes there is rewiring.
Do I have a sandbox to play in? NO.

Yeah it's alot more work than you'd think, nothing bolts up directly, and whichever option you choose requires rewiring of something. I have pictures somewhere, I have to upload them and will do a how-to at some point.

I hate the bubbles, it's too curvy - makes it look like some toy car and not a serious OEM look. I hate how the emergency button is randomly on the dash and not beside the rear defrost like on the 92-93. I like the flip up ashtray. The vents always flip down when I go over bumps, 92-93 doesn't do that. THE END

LOL you're weird, the 94+ dash is ultra modern and it has cupholders - this alone makes it win.

I have a black 92 dash w/ everything but the rebar, but I have an extra 94 rebar so it might be easier to just use that. It has no airbag. If you wanted to buy it, haha.

I went from a 95 to a 94 to a 93. I like the 93 dash t he best. It follows the lines of the doors better. It's cleaner. If it has a cupholder it'd be perfect.
