Default Which Dash style? 90-93 or 94-95(96)?

So which is the more preferred style?

90-93




or

94-95(96)


I am debating of changing to the 94-later style in my 90.. as I already have the 1994-later door panels (which I prefer over the 90-93 panels)

I really hate that deluso crap. Ruined the 94-96 interior. Love the seats and the door hidden pockets

While the dash is not deluso it covered the vents, radio surround, console etc are covered with a rubberized coating which mars, scratches, melts and becomes gummy. IMHO it ruined the interior from 93 up.

I thought the smuggling compartments were a clever fix to the loss of the glove box too.

The two best features of the newer interior are the white ink for the gauges and the bigger footwell area near the clutch pedal. I went from a 95 (LT1 car) to a 91 and that was glaringly obvious the first time i drove my current C4.

Its was actually clever since it solved the loss of glove box storage due to the passenger side airbag. I wish they would have thought of it sooner. The door panels otherwise are pure 1 piece garbage. At least when the door panels on the earlier panels broke you could salvage three sizeable parts. For the 94-96 drop the whole unit in the trash.

Sorry I disagree Orange is the best night time driving option vs white. It helps with night vision vs white backlight

Sorry I disagree Orange is the best night time driving option vs white.
the white lettering is still orange/red at night

so here is where I think I will end up:
- leave 1990 dash and controls pretty much as is
- 94 style door panels (current)
- modded Console and radio bezels (current)
- 94 driver side console side panel (current)
- 94 pass lower side hush panel (to match door panels)
- 90-93 dash pad ( just need to find a better one)
- 94 Sport seats (Current)

I already have black and torch red 94-up carpet which I prefer..

below is a picture of my current center console with the modded pieces I mentioned above. I do need to recolor the Sport seat switch which I have a spare and I am in process of working on

the last 3 year style is better and more functional, but the quality is terrible. Even the dash pad bends around the edges...then as mentioned, the rubber dulso coating and the easily warped and crackable door panels are junk too.

The new interior is great if you never have to expose it to the sun I guess.

GC,

I would clean the Dulso off and not have that, while I know the 94-96 stuff is cheaper in quality it seems.. I do prefer the design of the 94-96 door panels, not the construction but the way they look.

I have the 94-96 panels on my car and will more then likely keep the modded interior that I have as the way I have it set up makes it slightly different from the rest
