4th Gen fiberglass dash into 3rd Gen race car

I just got my new race car and it has a aluminum race car dash. I really like the look of a "stock" dash on my race car. I was going to put in the VFN 3rd gen dash but I like the look of the 4th gen better. Are they generally the same width/size? I think I can give teh car a better look with my gauges, switch panel etc wiht the 4th gen.

Re: 4th Gen fiberglass dash into 3rd Gen race car

people have swapped 4th gen dashes into 3rd gens and the width lined up very well.... so for a race car application, the fiberglass versions of the 3rd and 4th gen dashes should be very much interchangable.

VFN carries a 2-piece fiberglass version of the 3rd gen firebird dash for $279 I would enquire if it's a direct bolt-in or not though. it may be intended for tube frame cars.
