Default What from the interior of an S4/S6 fits the T44 (V8) cars?

Question implies what it is... What exactly can you swap? Anything you've done, seen done, heard done, think can be done, I'm interested.

I know for a fact, as we all may, that the Front seats swap. Not sure what it entails, though, likely splicing harnesses? The rear lower half seats fit, some say the top half do not. I don't know why.

The steering wheel for an S4 fits, why you would I don't know.. But the more alluring S6 sport wheel fits when you change the column covers over from those out of a C4 car, if I am not mistaken and have this right.

The Gauge faces out of an S6, which are nice white faced ones, swap into the cluster in a V8. Its annoying, and labor intensive, and you need a filler pannel for the spedo on the S// gauge where the digital redout is. Its nice, though. Well worth it. I got my S cluster cheap, too.

I *Think* the sunroof pannels are similar/the same. I *think* the front floor mat carpet areas may swap. I *think* the center console could be made to work, if you move over the buttons and climate control, if you have the later dual zone unit in a 92+ V8.

Obviously I'm saying all stuff about the V8. Some applies to other T44s, some doesnt. The dash, center console are different in a 5k.

I'm just really interested in this for personal reasons, but it would be great info for everyone to know. The S// car seats are sweet, the gauges are sweet, the S6 steering wheel is sweet. What else can we use? Oh, and how about the factory rear spoiler? (not interior.. I know)

Just the guage faces swap - it's a labor intensive process with nice results. Actually you want to use the cluster from a S4. Here is Allan Vega's V8 with the guages done (and sport wheel ) - makin me all jealuous..

So, yes, the gauges swap, nothing wrong with the s6 gauges except that hole..

Anything else or no body knows I guess?

What is a problem to swap gauges with faces without separating them ?

Actually, some of the smaller gauges did swap over, but the larger gauges do not....just the faces.
