Door panel modifications

I hear everyone talking about how hard it is to make fourth gen door panels fit in a third gen with the dash clearance, but is there anything that you can do to make the fourth gen door panels fit? i have fourth gen seats and seat belts already installed, which i love, and id like to add the new style door panels. do they "bolt" right in as easily as the seats? thanks

I tried to make the door panels work with the stock dash . By the time I was done making this panel fit , it was hacked beyond use-ability and the door still wouldnt close . Unless you use the new dash , I think this is a big waste of time .

i take it that installing the newer style dash would be a serious PITA? i wonder how much that would cost? this gives me something to think about.......
