93-97 camaro dash panel(dash pad)? the piece that goes inbetween the actual dash and the windshield is what i'm talking about..lol..
I have a 94 camaro and the panel is brittle as all hell.. it broke coming out of the car(we fixed it) and it broke again in a different spot while i was trimming it to fit around my cage... i'm guess its made out of a different material then the 98-2002 ls1 style , because i've never had a problem with those when removing, installing, trimming for cages
anyone know if i can get a new one from GM and if it will be brittle just like the one i have? makes me want to swap over my dash to a ls1 style so i dont have to deal with this...

Yup, broke mine while pulling it out for someone on the forum. I think its just been in the sun for so damn long, that they are so brittle.
GM PN for 93-96 is 10267171 GM LIST: $224.00 GMPD PRICE: $132.77

I gotcha, that must have been a GM defunt during the late 80s early 90s. I busted the one in my Lumina Z34...replaced it...busted it again. My sister's Cavalier did the same thing. Damn GM!
FYI I bought my Lumina replacement from the junkyard for like $20. If you can find a good one its a lot better than a couple hundred.

sucks..I figured it was either all those years in the sun or its just made differently then the later ones....
I'm thinking I might just swap over to a newer style dash completely...

I wonder if I could fit a 98+ replacement in my 97?
