I need to replace my Dash Pad. I read somewere that one out of a 1996 Firebird will work in a 1997 Trans Am. I have someone who wants to sell me theirs for 80$ They live 80miles away and I dont feel like driving down for a test fit. I know the dash pad out of my 95 V6 does not fit so I was just curious. Thanks Guys

Also is the guy parting out a 96? If so see if you can get that little piece of rubber that fits in the cubby hole right infront of the console lid on the console our is missing!

Just looking at our 96 compared to our 02 they look the same except for where the security light is. So if a 96 and a 02 are the same a 96 and 97 should be. But thats just eyeballing it....what part of the 95 wont fit???

The 95 Firebird Dash pad I have has a sharper angle near the top vent its not rounded like mine. Never mind I found out they wont work. What the **** is up with them Discontinuing the pad on the newer cars but not the older

I dont think they will fit, from what I understand 93-96 and 97-02 are interchangeable.

And if the 95 pad wont fit thats a dead give away b/c 95-96 cars were identical regardless if they were v6 or v8 cars as far as the dash and interior panels are concerned
