Is the 99 console compatible with a 2002 dash? Looking to see if the only differences are cup holders and such. Does the front fit flush?
And now, a question from left field...

It does.. but the 01+ console is a PITA in a race car as the cup holders want to pop open when shifting. You have to secure the doors closed

And as a side note...the 01 center console is highly desirable among the 99-00 street crowd as an upgrade. Guys will line up to trade you or buy your 01+

Jim -
That's exactly why I wanted to put a 99 console with the dash in the 2002 that I'm building.
Thanks for the side note Ron. Maybe I can work a barter somewhere...

01+ consoles bolt right into 99-00 chassis. to use a 99-00 console in a 01-05 chassis you need to trim underneath towards the rear of the console to put it into the car.
there is larger unibody bracing in the trans tunnel of a 01-05 car that the 01-05 console clear yet the 99-00 ones do not unless modified slightly. agree w the cup holder deal. they pop open even on the street cars all the time.

Isn't this one of those no updating/backdating cars to different years issues where if it doesn't say you can than you can't?
