Default TA Interior, in a Camaro?Whos done it?

Ive been told you cant use the door panals but that doesnt make sense, Im looking to convert my interior over to a TAs....


Im going to assume its a simple, swap correct?

search its been done plenty of times. I think im the only black sheep on here who wantsd to put a 98+ camaro interior in my 94 firebird. If you decide to do the swap sell me your parts cheap ok? i have a 99 trans am so when i go to drive my 94 firebird, its a little boring becuase its just kind of looking at the same thing all the time you know? Any part you replace, id be interested in buying if your camaro is 98 or newer. Or maybe 97's when they swapped th interiors, like the firebirds.

the only thing about doing the t/a interior over to the bitchin camaro interior is that the dash and where the door panel meet, wont meet. it'll have a small little gap, when you close the door.

Ok, I am starting the swp today, I got a doner car and will start gutting out all the parts the evening after work (If I ever make out on time).

I've been searching for write up's and what not but no luck so far, i will have my own made but it will be a week or more from the day i start (hopefully today), if you guys come across anything please post it.

There was a tab/mount inside the red circle that needs to be cut out because it sticks out and won't let the T/A door panel sit flush. Everything under my dash is gone but I have seen a couple other people that still had everything under the dash and it worked in a Camaro.

i just did the swap and it is very easy for the doors u have to saw off 2 tabs and thats pretty much it

the dash is just plug and play but make sure u get the heating ducting from the ta if u plan on runing heat,your cluster plus hvac controls is a direct swap for 98+ car and i have no prblems what so ever with any fitment if u wnat picks let me know

not trying to jack but i also have a full complete charcoal interior for sale dash plastics and door panels of of my car all mint

Ok the transam is a 1994, and my camaro is kinda gutted no heat etc....

Can I use a 94 dash? with all the heat ducting etc? Or do I need a 98 dash? Since the LT1 is different.

Mind you, my interior in the TA is MINT!


Also im going to be selling my black panals, and maybe my nice black camaro dash...

i think that as long as your using the ducting from a ta u should be fine cause as far as i know the shape of the ta dash from 93-02 is the same,does your camaro have the ls1 style dash or was that only for the 97s?

I think that was only 97.

There's a couple other people who've done it who havent posted. ProjectCamaro is one who sticks out more then anyone else with this. Im sure he'll post pics, or answer questions.
