Make over time.. Need some help

I'm in the process of revamping my truck for the next big show in august. I need some help guys.

I have an stx and i'm planning to basically swap an fx2/4 interior into it. I know what i need and everything, but where are you guys finding the consoles/dashes beside ebay? I've been looking for a while and i'm not having much luck on ebay for anything!

Also, Any idea where i can find black leather seat covers/ carpet, besides ebay?

Some of you guys might remember my truck, but i'll be posting it again once i get everything done.

One more thing.. 09 emblems interswap with ours right? You guys know any part numbers?

Apperciate all the help, i'll be active over here now that i have a newfound interest in my baby again

Never bought them, but Katzkin make leather covers. Your going to spend some $$$

I believe the emblems are inter change able. BUt the tail gate emblem is specific because of the mounting holes. I know I have read about emblem swaps on here. Try a search, you should find it.

For doing what you want to do with your truck besides going to salvage yards it's not going to be cheap. I'm not even 1/4 of a way done with my truck and I've spent over $6,000 in parts. And Now I can't spend anymore because I'm starting school maybe on june 7th. =-( But good luck with your finds.

You talking about making a show truck correct? I've been doing bits by bits with my truck and probably spent around 6k on it so far with a lot more to do. haven't done my interior, lightings, system, more body work, engine. Rims and tires were most expensive. People say it looks ready for shows but I know for it to be a top finisher in a car show I need a lot more work.

Ah no, not for interior. I haven't even started with my interior yet. But the Fx2 interior is great. haha. But you should invest in some smoked out tails as well as a Fiberglass tonneau cover.
