Can you swap 91-92 door panels into a 88-90 GTA w/o modifications???

I was wondering,is it possible to swap door panels with the cup-holders from a 91-92 bird into an 88-90 Trans Am/GTA with little or no modification??? It looks like you can,just want to make sure

Sure it shouldn't be a problem. In my Bird I had the regular panels too, I switched to the GTa panels--the ones w/the built in armrests-I had to drill new holes in the rear plates for the handles-so if you're going from those you'll have to drill new holes-if it isn't those a direct bolt in.
Hope I didn't confuse you.

Sure, depending which panels you were putting in. Not hard either way.
