Yes. The only difference is in the holes for mounting the ground effects and the way the little black rubber triangle is mounted in the door.

Re: also need door info

I currently have a door from an 82-84 Camaro on my 92 RS. I didn't have to change anything on it except for that little corner triangle piece. The holes for the ground effects lined up perfectly with the studs on my 92 ground effects.

Juanillox8 - What is different about the armrest brackets? I've had both the original armrest from my car on the door as well as armrests from an 82 and an 86.

Thanks for the pics. Never knew they were different between Camaros & Firebirds. Then again, I never tore a Firebird door apart either.

Re: also need door info

ive seen a firebird door on a camaro. The fire bird has a curve to the body work and camaro are flat. the curve above the latch top corner. But if youre going to swap once and paint, it will be eye sore. but it works.

Re: also need door info

Not all firebirds' armrest brackets are like that. Only the ones with deluxe door panels. 82-84 firebird doors brackets are the same as camaros, and 85-92 firebirds have a small metal bracket riveted to the handle to accept the different handle trim.
