dash pad id question

I am wondering how to id the dash pad for my Camaro (I hate ebay) I found a guy about an hour away that ended up purchasing two incorrect dash pads for his car... something about 15" vs. 16" deep. I think that this may be Camaro pad vs. Firebird pad, but I am not sure. How can I be sure that I am buying the right one. (Did I mention that I hate ebay).

Thanks for your help.

I believe the camaro pad is the deeper of the two. It's very easy to identify a camaro pad because it has the indentation in the center to fit around the center dash vents. The firebird pads do not have this.

The firebird pads (at least the 85-92) also have separate speaker grills. On the camaro pad, it has slots molded directly into the pad.

Thanks for the info... I thought the funny looking speaker grill held the key to the mystery.
