Default 93-97 Dash

I want to put a Trans Am dash into my 98 Camaro. I can get a dash from a 96 Trans Am really cheap and in good condition. Is the 93-97 Firebird/Trans Am dash the same as 98-02? Will the 96 dash bolt into a 98 car.

There are alot of little revisions on the dash for the 97-02 version. So if you get the 96 dash core, you will also need the upper dash( the part with the defroster vent) as well. Your 98 upper dash will not work with the 96 core, as GM changed the contour of the dash core on the Firebirds and Camaros in 97. All the other important stuff like the gauge cluster, radio, hvac controls ect will bolt right up from your 98 Camaro dash. And yes the 96 core will bolt right into the 97-02 cars.

Here is the Trans Am/Camaro 97-02 style


Heres the Trans Am 93-96 style. Notice the contour around the defroster is different.

If it doesn't fit I would be interested in buying it. Thanks
