Youd be better off using a 4dr as youd be able to get the dash, A pillars, seats (though you wont be able to get in the back seat since they dont sweep forward to allow access), steering wheel, OBC/instrument panels, as well as a few other things.

the dashes may look similar.. but you want the sedan dash. The understructure is totally different on the coupe' and will not fit the Ti

the door panels will not fit, the backseat will fit but it will look pretty squished

I'd just get the vaders, everything else will be too hard to fit, they won't look that bad if the colors are mismatched

Sounds a bit high $ wise. Why not gey dove gray vaders and look for a leather Ti interior for the door cards and rear seats?

i was looking for some dove grey vaders , but couldnt find any, and when i did they were always in terrible condition. i was also thinking maybe i should just take my seats and reupholster them with grey leather.
