EGT seats & console

[graywolf_14]

Oh man they have an egt at the strip lot on post. I had looked in it but didnt think anything promising until this post. So I went and looked at it again today and the console is perfect with boot no knob. The door pockets are good to except they have blue instead of the red stripe. The seats are junk though the material being that nasty burlap looking material.

So im in the process of the center console swap and boy o boy is it a lot of fabricating. This is no easy swap. Will post pictures later.

Hey Fester, might wanna check this out. Console swap sticky. Easy.

Really like the work you have done you did an amazing job. Once you colored the consol it looks almost factory, what you use to match it? I like the EGT seats but their a little to light in color for me I like darker interiors. That is why I was thinking the prelude seats our I could always just dye them.

Looks awesome could use a couple door shots !!

That does look nice, back seat too even. Are the arm rests on the doors a direct fit ?

Yes they are a direct fit

Even use the escort map pocket with the speaker trimmed off like he did and then just switch the carprt onto the festy card with out the plastic from the top

I would have likely done that,but the carpet from the Escort door panels is not large enough to cover the Festiva panels.

Or using the shorten carpeted piece from the EGT with the festiva map pockets. Didnt consider the top trim piece getting into shoulder room, makes sense though.

What about canibalizing the material and simulating on the festy panel with the shortened map pockets you made?

I actually had that mocked up in the Festiva although I was going to use the complete shortened Escort door panel.
Yes, the map pockets will hit the seat adjustment lever and also I didn't like the fact that the plastic trim on the top of the panel cut into my elbo/shoulder room.

Def. did look good tho

Ive been thinking about doing something similar using the EGT door trim. You beat me to it. My thought was to use the whole carpeted area below the black band. Pockets, speaker cover, and all. Then I would shorten the piece by triming off the back edge to fit the festiva door card. You would just have to do some unstitching and resewing then attach to the festiva door card. Mine are the same grey as my festiva interior. The carpet would cut down on the scuff marks. Only problem might be the door pocket hitting the seats or interfering with the seat belts ??
