Default Dash universal?

I wish that I could say that my interior (92 camaro) was perfect, but it has a few imperfections, one of which will be a ***** to replace. the Dash Pad has a huge crack in it near the speaker grills. I currently have a parts car (a 1989 Firebird), but I'm not sure if it'll fit. The glass seems to be at a different angle, and they don't seem to be exactly the same dimensions (although this could be because the camaro has a broader angle, so I could get the tape measure back a little further). Does anyone have any experience with swapping from Firebirds to camaros? and If it doesn't fit, would any third gen camaro dash fit?
Thanks,
~Austin

Any third gen will fit but they are different. If you put an 82-89 up to a 90-92 you will notice the diffrences. The edge close to you is a different angle and the area around the center vents is a different shape.

oh okay. If I need to I could go yard hunting (there are at least 5 junk yards within 10 miles of me). Would it stick out like a sore thumb? or would it just be different from stock. I don't mind if you could tell if you compared side by side, but I would like it to look nice and clean, and not like the frankenstein of interiors.

I could pick it out. I owned an 84 and now a 91 so I can see the differences. I dont know how frankenish it would look. The biggest deal would be where the center vents are because the are shaped different. The 90+ has the sides at an angle and the early ones are straight so I don't know what the fit would be like there with a straight notch from an early dash.
