    Same Interiors?

    Do all our car's years 86-89 have the same style interiors? i know DX has no power options and i think 89 se-i has leather interior, but other than that are our interiors the same?
    ps- i have an 86 lx and i was wondering if my car can fit an 88's steering column cover, door armrest panels, & seatbelts? can some one please help me out?
    did 88 make a dark gray interior opposed to the common light gray interiors? please send me some pics or links to your gray interiors

    Our interiors are kind of the same.....Hatchies.....86-87 has the seatbelts in the body, while the 88-89 are in the doors The air vent levers aren't in the 86-87 but are in the 88-89. The rear view mirrors are different. Other than that i don't know. Just some of my wisdom.

    Everything on the dash and steering column should be pretty much the same through out all the years except little things which are interchangeable. My 86 hatch has 2 tone blue interior and i've never seen 2 tone in a 3g besides in a hatch.

    There are two different styles of steering column trim that are not interchangable. Ask me how I know. One has the key hole entirely enclosed in the lower half of the trim and the other style has the key hole in between the two halves of the trim. Figure out which one you have before you try to source a replacement.

    I feel your pain, I ran into that same problem when switching the headlight switch from my hatch to me sei, the switch would go down fine, you couldn't push it up far enough for the right turn to stay on if i remember correctly, i just cut the hole bigger

    As far as the interiors being the same heres what I know:

    All coupe and hatch front seats are interchangeable. All the dash parts for all the years are interchangable cept for the steering columns, keep in mind the DX and and possibly the LX(?) had sliders instead of push buttons for the vent controls so if you swap them over it's gonna be alot of work, the door panels for the coupes and hatches from all years are interchangable, but you'll need to swap in power windows switches, relays, motors if you move from a car with manual windows. Hatch seatbelts are in the car, coupe seatbelts are on the doors. Carpets are diffent for each body style but the same for all the year and trim levels withing the same body style. Coupe rear seats and hatch rear seat are interchangable but not bolt in, it requires some drilling. The sedan rear seats only fit in the sedans and DX versions do not fold down. Rear panels for all the different body styles are different but will work for all the years and trim levels within the same body style.

    That's all I can think of, if I missed somthing or get somthing wrong please correct me.

    I've never seen an SE-i in the junk yards in salt lake so I don't know if the 88 is the same, but my 89 SE-i coupe has a different center console in it with a campartment above the e-brake with a padded cover on it. I know this because the leather in the cover is falling appart, like the rest of my leather, and I can't find one to replace it.

    Thanx, I missed that, SE-i has a armrest above the e-brake, this can be swapped into any trim, body style, and year.

    Damn, I guess I've owned to many 3g's but I've tried to swap so many interior/exterior/engine bay parts it's not even funny.

    Mmmm. I love my SE-i armrest. One of the best upgrades you can make.

    To nitpick Jim's post cause he asked for it. LX models had push button heater controls. Hatch seatbelts are on the B pillar on 86-87 models. In 88-89, they were moved to the door. Nice thing too, cause I get a discount on my car insurance cause of that.

    Well, the logic behind this is that the seatbelt stays buckled all the time. When you open the door, there is enough slack and you can supposedly get in and out with it still buckled. However, I've found the lap portion of the belt is too low when the door is open and makes it awkward to get in. Check your owners manual, it tells you all about it.

    You're kidding me right, we're supposed to leave it buckled, that sounds
