Default Interior swap.

Has anyone ever did an interior swap on their Carlo? I want to do something to my 02. Been watching a guy on YouTube swap interiors on old school cars and making them more modern and it got me thinking lol

You can do almost anything you are willing to put time into to fabricate and modify. I got tired of the ebony interior in my SS, wanted some of the pace car like appearance, found ways to swap pieces with the "pewter" color interior. Nothing too crazy or extreme. That is a simple way to make changes. Others have painted or wrapped interior pieces. Some have bolted in different seats (someone here bolted in modern SS Camaro seats). Do you already have some ideas in mind?

No clue I'm thinking about putting a 07 Carlo Head unit and climate control module in. Is at that in fact possible?

Not sure on those items. It depends on the wiring needs and how they communicate with the car. If I were to take a guess, they probably won't. But, that is a guess. I would start with finding the pin outs for the items and seeing if they match OR at least have the same connections (if they do, might be a small re-wiring need). Concerns I have on the radio head unit, I don't believe the 07 uses the radio to program the key fobs or reset the tire and oil life systems (this forces you to alternative methods).

But, I encourage you to explore this. I have done some things people said "cannot be done" with my cars, and those were people who lacked the drive to explore and experiment. I also encourage you to keep us updated on what you learn.
