Default C4 Console side panels

Are the 1984-1987 console side panels the same size for the 1989 model? I have a 1989 model and I cannot find the console side panels anywhere. I was wondering if I ordered the panels for 1984-1987 if they would fit.

Early cars have a different transmission tunnel due to the use of the 4+3 transmission in the manual cars vs the ZF6 in the '89 manual cars. Most likely the the panels will be close, but will need some massaging to get them to work regarding how they attach.

Here's a bump for you and perhaps someone will know conclusively. If that fails I'd pull the old ones off, take some pics with measurements and also pics showing the attach points. Then see if a vendor can do the same with the '89 panels you're considering buying.

Couldn't find them anywhere yesterday so I bought the 87 panels from CorvetteAmerica. Hopefully they'll work out.
