the door stuff should not fit, I have an FCS5 vert . There is no a-piler in Vert (the glass is not framed). you wanna make sure that it is from the same series, even some parts of s4 vert gauge cowling and idiot light display cowling won't fit in my s5 vert

So for example, with my '88 vert I could get door panels from a S4 coupe and it would fit? But you cant change from S4 to S5? Is that what your saying?

nothing should be interchangable between coupes and verts..interior wise. different seats door panels not 100% on the dash thought it was the same as coupes with like years s4/s4 s5/s5

You can put vert door panels inside of a coupe. I have done it. The only real difference in the door panels is that the vert doors have more bolts on the arm rest and the slit the panel has for the windows. Besides that it falls in perfect.

yep, vert door panels fit just fine in a coupe, and if you swap the interior welt to coupe ones, you wouldn't even notice the slit for the half window.

Man you probably shouldn't be answering since you really don't know.

Seats are the same as a GXL except for the head rests- so they fit just fine.

The door panels we already covered but they fit just fine.

The dash pad is exactly the same.

In fact about 90% of everything in front of the back edge of the door is exactly the same as far as interior parts. That last 10% that doesn't fit is like the Mirror or A pillar covers, and on the 90-91 vert the dash surround... almost every thing else fits just fine.

Remember for those couple of people that answered (gee almost nothing fits) the vert was designed from the ground up. It was part of the original FC plan and built at the same factory. So of course everything fits... the FC was designed to have the vert top from the beginning. It is not like some lame Mustang or Celica where they shipped a coupe off to another factory that cut the roof off and fitted parts to cover their mess up.

Hell you can even put the spare tire in the same well as a coupe in the trunk of a vert if you wanted.

Vert seats are Turbo seats with headrest speakers not GXL seats.

I disagree. The pattern is completely different. Plus I think the vert seats are so uncomfortable, I prefer the TII seats.

I'm rebuilding my Vert shell with S5 GXL interior parts from a donor car. All I need to do to make the door panels work is to cut a notch in the door panel for the half-window and transfer the welt trim from the old Vert panels to the GXL ones and Voila!

Turbo seats don't have adjustable headrests. The headrests on Turbo seats are built into the seat and not adjustable.

GXL seats have adjustable headrests, and adjustable front height.

Vert seats have adjustable headrests and have adjustable front height...

So you are wrong.
