I got one off of a parts car from an 87 i believe and put it in my 1990...
Everything works fine as far as i know...
Havent driven it yet though.. But signal's and everything work soo...
Should be good to go..
Ohhh and yes i'm talking about the dash/switches..
Not the guages..

I'm about to attempt this swap, but I think I read a post somewhere that it isn't a simple bolt in. Something about not all the screw mounting holes matching up or something...can't remember, but I'm gonna try it anyways.

WHOLLY JEZZZ GUYS!!!
If it worked for me from an 87-90 then it must work from an 90-87..
What the hell is the difference? If it works one way it must be able to work the other... LOL...
I thought you guys would be smarter than that..

The 89-92 dash will fit in an 86-88 car, but it will add about 35-40 lbs because of the extra support for the SRS systems that the 86-88 luckly don't have.

Were just talking about the black trim with the switches inside. Not the guages and all that other crap...
They felt excactly the same weight to me.. You sure we are talking about the same thing?

All US Spec S5 FC3S (coupe) models had SRS. On the coupes it was the mouse belts.
Only the 90-91 FC3C (convertibles) had SRS, it was the airbag.
They all had re-enforced dashes to prevent sliding that included extra bars and heavier bars for supporting the foam padding.
