Center Console

[JerzLT1]

will a 91 Z28 center console bolt up to my 86 firebird?

Dont the camaro consoles have an integral radio pod? Meaning, its all one piece?

Calhoon had a firebird with a camaro console. I think part of the dash had to be hacked at to fit it in there.

Not the best idea, in my opinion.

IF you can get your hands one one, a 93-02 4th Gen Center Console would look much better, that is if your in the market for a new center console.

That's interesting.....considering that they sell a console Megashifter designed specifically to fit 3rd gen Camaro and Firebirds :roll:

yeah but it says will not fit formula consoles... guess what i have

On my 85 T/A with the Mega Shifter I just hacked up the stock center console peice. I intended to put leather around it, but I could never get their actual gear selection peice on and working right. I just memorized the position on the teeth, or how many clicks.

im gonna get a piece of aluminum and cut it to the shape of the console. it should look good

Gotcha....I've never heard that before.

Good luck fabbing up something, post up a pic when you are done.

Slight thread hijack...

After attempting to repair my center console with clear silicone, I decided it looks like a complete hack job so decided to replace it. I bought another center console, however they all come in gray.

Since I'm going for an all-black interior, is there a best way to color the console black?

I think we talked about painting plastics and such in a different thread. Can't remember the outcome of that thread. Am I better off painting and clearcoating the console, or dyeing it? In each case, which materials are best?

Thanks.

SEM interior dye, works great and comes in an aresol can

Dye it, I speak of personal experience. The paint will just crack off.
