Default Differences in interiors?

I know the seat, dash, and door panel differences, but what is it about the carpets and floormats that's different? I have a 91 and the carpet is shot, but have found a wrecked 96 locally, but I know there is some difference in the 94-96. What is it? Will the 96 stuff fit? I don't care about it being 'correct' just as long as it fits!
THANKS!

The carpet will fit except for the two pieces on either side of the console.
I have a '96 carpet set in my '93(but I switched to the 96 console as well).

What's different about the consoles, and what about it won't fit if I use the later carpet with my 91 console? Will I have a gap, or how will it look?
THANKS AGAIN!

The '96 console shifter plate wraps over the edges of the console, where the 90-93 doesn't.
The top of the console pieces have rubber that meets the carpet, on the '96, the console shifter plate covers the edge of the carpet.
Unfortunately I don't have any pics handy to show the actual differences.

The first pic is the 90-93 style, the second is the 94-96.

I know they are of different sides, but the only two I could easily find, you can see on teh red interior how much black there is on the console, that's all rubber(or rubberized plastic), on the gray interior, there is much less black.

If you get the plastic pieces from the 96 that the carpet is attached to and then buy the radio bezel and console shifter plate from a '96(or get it from the wreck), all you have to do is cut some of the rubber off the dash to make the radio bezel fit and you're all set.

These pics are of my '93 with the '96 carpet set. You can see where I cut the dash to make the radio bezel fit. Also, you can see where I still need to refinish the shifter console plate.
