Are you talking about the kick panels? On the sides? Or you talking about the panel on the bottom of the dash? Above your legs?

Either way, I think they are all the same.

As far as I know, the under-dash panels are the same from 82-89. I have '87 Panels in my '83 if that tells you anything.

Do you happen to know where you can get the metal clips that hold those panels in place? I've tried junkyards and everything, with no luck yet.

Are you talking about the clips that the screws screw into?

No, just the little clips that push right into the lower dash holding the panels that conceal the wiring in place. I think I can get some from Hawk's though.

They are wedge shaped, black and metal. There are 2 big panels below the dash that conceal wiring, one on the drivers side and one on the passengers side. The wedge-shaped clips just push in and hold them in place. That is the best I can describe them.
