'90 GTA Lower Dash Panel Inquiry (Passenger Side)...

Guys, I am getting ready to pull the GTA out of retirement, and am finishing up the interior. I removed a lot of the panels over the years, but made the mistake in including them with the other's that have been piling up over the years alongisde of it. Can anyone identify which one is correct for a 1990 GTA that goes underneath the heater core housing on the passenger side? I narrowed it down to two, and I am leaning towards the one on the right which is why I started cleaning it up, but with my luck it's the other one lol. Thanks guys...

Also, does anyone have a picture of the small panel that goes on the lower dash drivers side (90/91/92 style)? Not the padded piece up front, but the one that goes in front of (behind) that one by the fuse panel...

K, this is the piece that I was referring to with the drivers side in the second question...

Called a hush panel, there's a thread on here somewhere where no one is really sure what style goes with what years. And not all cars came with them.

Interesting. The picture I posted above in the second post definitely came on the '90 GTA drivers side, but for the passenger side though, what you're saying is very interesting, because although I tell myself I removed one, I really don't remember if I did. In the comparison I made above, the panel on the right side appears to be from a Camaro because I compared it with my buddy's last night when he passed by to pick up a part. Will need to research this a little further, thanks...

Just had it confirmed, it is in fact the left one in the picture below (90-92 Firebird)...

That's a pretty interesting read, had no idea that some models actually did not come from the factory with them, interesting. You would think that all of the models would have to though for the needed sound deadening to pass a particular factory tolerance level, but I digress. Anyway that was very interesting, thanks for sharing...

Mine didn't have them and I noticed no sound difference when I installed some. But it looks nicer with them. Looks like something is missing without
