Subtle Interior Changes
Does anyone see the subtle differences I have made?
NOT including the obvious ones (Stereo, WheelSkins, or the speakers on the pass side)...
FWIW this is a 1990.. I wanted something slightly different, yet still looks good

you put a 1992-1993 cluster, shift button and seat controls in, DIC, and heater controls, but forgot the headlight switch

The controls are not exactly 92-93..
Yeah that is a bigger change, but the cluster is original..

Ok, here we go:
'94-'96 style door panels.
Passenger side kick panel has vinyl (instead of carpet) and was modified to be removable without removing the whole dash.
'94-'96 style radio surround and shifter console modified to fit a '90 dash and painted gray.
Driver's side vertical carpet below the console is also the '94-'96 style carpet to fit with the console & radio surround. The stock '90-'93 carpet there would have a 2-3 inch-wide black rubber section running just below the shifter console edge on that side.
The red color is also a change, Jeff's car was originally all black inside.
And like has already been mentioned, black *****/buttons instead of the gray (DIC, headlight ****, seat controls, etc.) and the seat controls are also the '94-'96 style.
Did I miss anything?
I don't think the gauge cluster was changed though like was mentioned, the '92-'93 clusters have extra 'tic' marks in the gauges on the right side of the cluster and the RPM gauge 'tic' marks are shorter as well in the '92-'93 clusters. And Jeff's car is a ZR-1, so yes it has a ZR-1 cluster!
I like the mods though, I never thought of modding the later style consoles to fit the early '90's interiors. Looks good, Jeff!

The later driver side console mod makes the car a bit more refined but I wanted to keep the wall on the passenger side
