Default Will an RSX Dashboard Fit into an EJ?

I'm sure with enough work it can be done, but would this be a major headache? My buddy and I are working on buidling/restoring a 1995 Civic Coupe EX. This winter a built and boosted K20A2 will be going into it, and we'd also like to put in an RSX dashboard, seats, door panels, and anything else from the interior we can get.

What are we looking at for potential work here?

Here's a picture of the progress so far right after I got done wet sanding and buffing it from the spray booth.

I'm not a fan of body kits but that looks good.

Yeah, we're trying to keep it clean, a mixture of old school and contemporary I guess. I do like the lip kit look, but those are becoming just as played I suppose. Anyway, thanks for the compliment.

It is a full body kit, front bumper is an R33. It's actually WRX blue, although for some strange reason we got a pearlescent purple shade to it in certain lights. Go figure.

Beautiful colour... not a fan of kits or neons, but the colour is incredible.

I seriously doubt the dash will go in, simply due to the differences in body width and curvature. If you plan to recover it to match your interior, you could probably hack it though.

I have seen the RSX dash in a CRX, so I would assume with a bit of work and fabrication that it would fit into an EJ

Love the color :thumbup:

As far as the dash swap goes, again, probably can be done with some fabrication.
