I have a 91 vert and like the set my buddy has and they are from a 95 coupe.. Will these fit? And my door panels on his?
Just thought I would ask before we get carried away..

Can't say, but it is a piece of cake to take the panels off. I think it took me maybe 10 minutes to remove one panel, so basically you wont be investing a lot of time to try it.

They should fit, but the colors and panel detail might not match up. When Chevy redid the dash in '94, they changed the way the dash carpet and colored padding merged into the door panel colored padding. You'll have to line them up to see if they work or if you even care.

Re: door panels (sp802)
Remove the three screws from the door handle (1 screw) and where you pull the door to close it (2 screws). Remove the fasteners at the bottom, I think there are 6 or 8. Lower the window. Remove the lock button with needle nose pliers. It is pushed onto a metal peice. Comes off real easy with the needle nose pliers. Pry off the plastic piece covering the door light. Remove the lights and push the metal peices through the plastic (again easy to do). Twist out the mini-light.
Lift up on the panel from the top and remove it until you can reach the plugs for the power window and door lock, unplug them. That is it, one of the easiest panels I've ever removed from a car. I'm basing this on a 96 which I just did the other day.

Re: door panels (Tolofou)
They will fit, but not perfectly. The older style panel uses screws to hold the bottom in place as well as screws on each end, where the newer style uses plastic push pins along the bottom and there are no screws holding the panel in place excpet for those in the door handle bezel.
