A guy up here in Canada wants to charge me $900.00 for a full dash including gauges and wiring) out of a 98 Camaro cop car. the airbag was blown but that shouldnt matter eh? Should I keep looking for a better price or is this good? That would be about $750 US

That's horribly over priced. That guys smoking something. You can get them for $400 off ebay, and that's still horribly overpriced. I paid $200 for my entire dash.
I payed about $450 for everything shipped back when I bought mine. Could have gotten it alot cheaper but at the time I was in a hurry to buy. So you should probaly be looking at spending between $2-500 tops.
As for a blown bag, it usually cracks the dash frame when it blows. Sometimes not to bad though.

Also, with the 98+ dash, the gauges use serial data from the PCM so it may be harder to get to work right, unless you are doing an LS1 swap as well.
They also use a 4cyl tach signal so the RPMs will show double.
You can fit 93-96 Firebird gauges into a 97+ Camaro dash and vice versa.
I've got 3 clusters to play around with for my car, a 93 Firebird, 95 Firebird, and a 97 Camaro. I prefer the Camaro one since it is fancier looking.
Oh, and I paid $350 for my complete dash

I paid 200 bux for my complete dash, center consel and door panels, but the airbag blew out the dash so I am in search of a new one also...I think I'll check around for people partin out a T/A near me...BTW heres a pic of what happens when a bag blows

The firebird dash is the same from 93-02.
This is my 95 Firebird Dash with a 97 Camaro gauge cluster,

I paid $238 for my 4thGen dash with cluster,center console and all 4 leather seats out of a bird.
Drivers side seat has 2 small rips not even 1/2inch each. Local shop wants $75 to fit it
1 door was already missing or I would have got the door panels at that price also. I did take the piller trim so I can work with the gaps with doing the swap.
I did get the dash pad part also. Non pope airbag so no seam to worry about.
