The door trim panels are interchangeable except that you would also have to add power windows. The Monsoon system was only available with the power option package (locks, windows, etc.) because there was no room to put a window crank handle in the door along with the component speakers.

It's probably not relevant but this is not true of Camaros. My Z28 was has a Monsoon and manual locks and windows.

That's correct. The Camaro Monsoon system doesn't have separate tweeters mounted above the mids like the Firebirds do. The Camaro trim panels are the same with or without Monsoon so I figured he was looking for Firebird panels (besides, the screen name is 99blkfirebird).

Probably the best place to get the trim panels without spending a fortune is at an auto salvage yard. The dealer charges about $650 each for them and they are almost $400 each online.
