Grand am SEATS & DASH

[bkathsalero]

So i want black front seats and rear seats, but with a stock look, so im gonna get some out of a grand am gt... but i was wondering if anyone has ever replaced the alero dash with a grand am gt dash.. i like the looks of it the thre ac ventsin the middle i would put gauges in so i thing i might try it.. anyone know y that wouldnt be possible?

edit: redoing entire post..

I think you would need to do a bit more work than just swap out the dash.. probly more work than you'd be willing to do :lol:

well yae that is a givin its not gunna just screw on!! :lol: but im saying the alero and grand am are the same unibody car basically, just a different shell, so it should fit.. i would have to put the ga gauge cluster.. a pillar, and counsol in to make it look, and fit right.. but i think with a little bit of fab it should work out.. and no such thing as to much work.. u gain skill, learn and the turn out could be preatty cool.. havnt seen any aleros on here with it.. so itd be a first.. i like uniqueness, (hence the stripe) :coolio:

I terms of placing the dash, Id say youd have to get the center console also, but I think the dash piece would just plug and play where the Alero Dash is. Your biggest concern would be in terms of rerouting the wires and plugging everything.

Edit: After further observations, Id say the door panels may not fit .

gotta get the front door panels too!!!!!!!!!

right on!! forget bout them, then prolly the rear quarter interior 2 otherwise it will flow funny..

[Midgear]

would the A/C vents match up?

[AJules]

you're basically gonna end up doing the entire interior if you want everything to fit correctly and look good.

yea i realized that.. might be a cool project to overtake.. and yea ac vents should mach up.. not perfect but still blow air out of the vents

that would be correct sir. Has been discussed WAAAAY back. I dont think any one has ever done it.

it'd be sweet to have black seats and have the alero dash re-done with black vinyl to match the seats. a black interior theme would be cool

the grand am door panels will fit right up, but the issue comes in with the grand am door panels buldge more were the upper portion of the door panel and the fuse panel on the dash are.

This will cause the door panel to be set right againts the dash as apposed to having a small gap. Everytime you close your door it will push againts the door panel. Everything else is fine. But the door panel of a grand am will not flow with the rest of the alero's interior.
