for an upcoming mod i am considering i am in need of some information-

- can anyone confirm that the hard plastic ovoid pieces that surround the inside door handles locations are the same shape on pre and post 98 mystiques?

- and a similar question, are the vent and instrument cluster surround shapes the same?

thanks for the help in advance.....lakeside

No. I don't think they are.

I dont know about the door handles but I think they began to transition over to the contour style instrument cluster besel around 97-98. not sure though.

All I can add is that my dash vent/cluster etc design is totally different in my '95 Contour than it was in my '98 Mystique. The shape is different and the style is different. The Mystique's seems smaller and more sleek,whereas the Contour's seems larger and taller.

Door handles never changed for Mystiques 1995-2000.

The dash cluster changed over to Contour-style in 1999. (1998's have a unique dash, similar looking to the pre-98s but the vent piece is updated slightly.)

The pre-1999 woodgrain is NOT compatible with Contours or 99+ Mystiques. However, the 99+ woodgrain is.



Pre-98 Mystiques


1998 Mystiques


1999-2000 Mystiques
