Default Door panels

Cold anyone tell me if the door panels for a 1990 will fit on a 1985? Thanks

I would think so, but I bet all the hardware/switches would require replacement with the newer panel. Are you prepared to switch those as well?

Speaker wires are holding my dilapilated interior door panels right now. I'm about ready to throw them away and use the later interior panels. Luckily my windows are tinted 5% all over so others won't pick on my "Ghetto Fabulous" interior...

I am 99.9% sure that they will not fit. The 90 dash is different from the 89 and older version. Therefore, the door panels are molded to fit in tight with the dash.

When changing my interior color, I purchased the center console sections from a 90 and they did not work.

Good luck,
Dino
