Re: Lower Dash Panel

Yes... The 90-92 lower dash is different... The sharp lines are smoothed over with curves... You need an 82-89 dash...

I have both.. an 88 and a 92 so it's pretty clear to me... Very little is the same between those two dashes...

Re: Lower Dash Panel

I had cracks elsewhere on mine but used plastic epoxy and fiberglass mesh for support. Holding up fine 13 years later...

Re: Lower Dash Panel

Mine is cracked/broken in two big halves. They're held together with strips of sheet metal i riveted to the dash across the crack. There's 4-5 strips from the center vents down to the corner by the radio bezel.
