apparently you have to cut some of the clips on the bottom, or something like that. And i think i read you have to do something about the side mirror wires.

I read on a post here that you need to change the wiring for the switches in the doors. I was going to do it but it was too much of a hassle. I just changed the cloth inserts to a black pleather lol.

I thought the dash was somewhat different too where they fit together, but from looking at that picture it seems it lines up OK after all.

Its a pretty easy swap, there is 1 hook that you have to cut off the TA door panel to get it to fit, its easy to figure out which one it is once you hold the door panel up into position. The lines at the dash line up just fine, The door handle & lock assembly is the same & the only issue with the electric buttons is the mirror adjustment. The windows & locks plug right in. With the mirrors you will have to cut & rewire to get the TA switch to work with the camaro plug. I on the other hand redid the bezel so I could get the camaro button to work on the TA door. Some people just get the mirrors where they want them & then leave it un-plugged.

Raptor..... Don't you already have TA door panels?

I think I may have to look into this a bit more. Shouldn't have sold the TA panels I had.

Ya I like the door panels and leather seats on a T/A's way more then Camaro's but I don't like the gray power lock/window switches on them, they look cheap and I might be the only guy that see's that, but that's just me.

I though that to, so I jus fabbed the camaro switch openings into the TA bezel like McNord did with the mirror switch. For the TA mirror switch I jus taped off the little triangles and painted it satin black to match the switches.
