I don't know but I'm curious why you're chanching your dash. I've had both a '97 and my current '96 and I prefer the earlier dash design. I think the air vent placement is better.

IMO i like the air vents better too, but i like how the newer ones are digital..but i think it would be a ***** just to do that and really pointless...or what you could do is, get a v6 dash and slap it in there with the vin and tell your insurance you just got a v6 lol

well i used to have an immaculate 97 30th anniversary and i like the dash alot better, i think it is cleaner and i like the placement of the vents and the heater and stereo better. to me the dash line is just a smoother transition and thats waht im going for.

i agree i luike the 97+ dash way better.. just seems a lot newer to me and looks better.. Maybe if the older dash had different guages or somethingi t would look better...
Then again i do understand where you say the vent locations kinda suck, but im used to that by now.
