Default Camaro door panels in TA

I really hate my cracked door panels in my TA and am curious if there is a way to make Camaro door panels fit as they seem to be more readily available. A search only yielded results of TA door panels into Camaros, which apparently work with a little effort. I would assume that if it works one way it would work the other, but I wanted to check. Will it be any issue that I have the Monsoon system in my TA?

I would recommend you just find some 93-97 Firebird door panels. I have yet to see any of those years crack. My 95's are still in excellent condition.

Depends what color you're trying to match it to. I've got ebony panels in the back, and graphite door panels up front, and I can barely tell the difference between the 2.

I have a tan interior so I'd want to find tan door panels, which is part of the problem. I hadn't thought of looking for 93-97 door panels, that's definitely an idea, but DO Camaro door panels fit?

As far as the gray/black difference, I know I can definitely tell a difference between the dash color of a 98-99 from that of an 00-02. How does the graphite compare to the ebony?

I'm sure the Camaro door panels do fit, but probably need a little modification to fit. From what I've heard, their door panels are also prone to cracking too. It's just not as noticeable since the top of their doors are covered.

To me the graphite just looks a little lighter than ebony. Not enough to really bother me or that's too noticeable.

Awesome guys, thanks. Now at least I have multiple options for door panels. I wish I had gotten to mine with that machine screw fix before they cracked. Too bad that "better late than never" saying doesn't apply here....
