Default Fairmont II interior swap

I know I asked this before, but it looks like the thread has disappeared when i got my name changed...

How can i swap the entire Fairmont II interior into my Forte' I? What do i need to get, swap over, hook up etc.

All help is needed and highly appreciated.

And yes... i want the luxury interior... i love it

I can't give you any technical advice since I haven't done it, but I suspect it would be a straight swap as long as you have the Fairmont BEM, ECU and looms.

What I can say is DO IT! The Fairmont interior is so much better than Forte!!!
In fact, the only reason I haven't bought an XR8 is because I hate the interior...

BEM?
I was kinda hoping that I could put part of the dash in and just hook whats needed as i get the other parts and stuff... but i think that might not work.
With the ECU, will that affect my factory Tickford Duel Fuel?

Sorry if i sound like i'm an idiot, but i am only just learning more about the A-Series now that i own one... X-Series and E-Series and i'm fine :P

BEM = Body Electronics Module - Same as the E series
If you want it to be a straight swap I suspect you will need what I stated above.

You can probably get away without using the ECU (letting you keep the use of your gas) but you will need to get it paired with the new BEM.

Also I assume you have a series II? If you have a series I things just got a whole lot more complicated

Don't forget all the bits and pieces for the climate control...
