Firebird door panels in Camaro

Will door panels out of a 92 firebird work in a 91 camaro? I noticed that the plastic panel where the door lock is shaped different. Also, did the 92 firebirds come factory with cup holders on the door panels?

should work, just use the same trim pieces that you had if there's any doubt.

I'm not shure about the newer camaro armrest, but in (my) a bird the 2 lower armrest pad screws are near flush with the outside of the pad & have caps that cover them,, the bracket is 'L' shaped riveted to the door. On my 84 camaro the screws are recessed into the pad almost to the door and have a small 'V' shaped support attached to the shell. Other than that, there is no difference in the door shells themselves or (at least shouldn't be) hardware (handles, locks) that differs between the two.

Keep in mind I'm only going from my 87 bird & 84 camaro,, I don't think the camaro door panels were ever formed like the birds to have the armrest 'molded' to look as one with the panel so I don't think the 2 armrest pads would look right swapped around on opposite panels. I could be wrong about that though
