Re: thinking of doing a dash swap from a 96 to 98 Z

Yeah man I did it to my car. It is a pretty simple process. It bolts right in the only thing you got to worry about is the gauges. They have to be out of a 97 LT1 or else they wont work. I have yet to find a pair of those. They are very hard to find. But other than that I would recommend you doing it Ill list the stuff you need.

Dash
97 gauges
A/C switches
headlight switch
An extra hand to help you out!
the a-pillars----on these make sure that tey are for your car b/c I did the mistake in buying everything out of a trans -am and completely forgot aobut the a-pillars. My car is a hard top and the t/a was a t-tops!
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!!!!!!!!---------> THE AIR DUCTS! With out these there is no poin in doing the conversion. Whenyou buy you dash make sure you get the air ducts with it b/c if not your air wont come out of your new dash. thats mainly it dude
If you have any other Q Ill be more than glad to answer them for you!
