I need to know if the upper dash pad(below the front winshield panel) on all LS1 cars will fit a LT1 T/A. It looks like the Firebird dash stayed the same all years. If someone knows if there is a difference between them let me know.

 

Don't know, but the part number changed in 1997.

 

no it will not. i made the mistake of buying a dash pad and not checking it. so i have one if someone needs it.

 

Anyone have experience in LT1 and LS1 Firebird interiors? Did the dash change from 97 to 98 or did it stay the same in the Firebird? I know the camaro shares the same dash pad now as the T/A. But it looks like the T/A dash has stayed the same. Anyone know if thery are different?

 

Man they look so close in the T/A. I swear they are the same but if you bought one and it doesnt fit I guess they changed it. What did they change to make it not fit?

 

the curve by the defrost vent on the right bottom. on the 97 down it curves inward towards the windshield. 98+ curves outward toward the passanger seat.

Thanks for the info. You saved me some $ cause i was close to buying one off a guy but wasnt sure it would fit.

 

EDIT: How about changing the whole dash, like the entire peice, will it that work?

 

Ok, just looked at some LS1 dash pics vs my dash and it seems the defrost vent part is more jagged on the LT1 dashes and smoother on the LS1's. Must equal a tighter fit.

I'll show you these pics.

Oh well, looks like i'll have to buy a new dash pad to.
