4th gen in a third gen

So i made up my mind that while im saving my money for the engine and chasis mods on my 3rd gen, im gonna spend a little here and there to convert my interior to a 4th gen interios. black leather ( hopfully power) seats (most likeley with a read seat delete) center consol, and maybe a dash if i can do it. what ya'll think? anyone done this before and got any ideas what years fit in best?

Arch is right, but it looks good considering the fab work needed to get all the pieces to fit-

I am doing the 4th gen dash in my 3rd gen vert. There are pics of the dash in the car (just mocked up) in the photo gallery. It seems to fit pretty good so we will see when it is time to do the actual install. I am doing autometer phantom gauges in the dash...just to make it a little different.

why do just the dash? If doing the interior do the whole thing or none, they don't blend well (like the pick it looks half finished)
