  • If the front end can be converted...

    ...Can the dash be converted too?

    I always thought the entire dash on the 93-97 camaro looked cooler than the 98-02. There's soooo much difference between the two, tho, that it makes me wonder if it's even possible.

    Anybody ever tried that?

    just to clarify, you are thinking of the 93-96 dash, 97+ have the new one. ;) Some people have switched the center consoles that I know of. I am not sure if anyone swapped the whole dash.

          The '97 is the perfect car :P

          The upgraded dash, but the awesomeness of the original 4th gen headlight assembly... The power of the 3.8 V6... and the shnazz of the 30th anniversary edition :P.

          It is my favorite year :). I will be getting a replacement one soon :)

            I always liked the 93-96 dash also. I can't help you on if it's easy. I'm sure it's possible, because it's virtually the same car, and I once saw an 80s camaro with the 97-02 dash. So i'm not sure how much fabrication would be required, but i'm sure you could do it. I bought a 96 for the dash and plan on doing a front end conversion to the new.

              I agree that the 93-96 looks better, but the 97+ is much sturdier... as far as the center console, I don't know about the rest of the dash. It's the one thing that always annoyed me about my car, I lean on my console in between shifts and while cruising and it moves all over the place.

                Would you necessarily have to change the center console?

                  I don't think so, because If you can put a new console in an older car, than I would imagine it's all interchangeable.
