Well I custom installed a 4th Gen manual console while using a 3rd Gen radio pod....A whole lot of cutting have to be done to complete this, but i'm happy with the results...

I also added 4th Gen leather seats as well

I did the black plastic by painting which i think turned out well.

Also added a custom shift boot with "RS" in the teal color of my car, and a chrome shift ****

Looks really good. Now all you need is to flush mount that radio in there to look even better!

 

other than having to hack up the old center console, did you have any problems? i have a 4th gen console that's going in mine in a couple months.

 

You need to loose the heating ducts on the radio pod, along with the support that holds the two sides together and where the cd player bolts into.......

Getting the swing out cupholder was hard, you really need to cut everything perfect, also have a hard time holding the front of it down......

You also don't have room to install the little tray thing where you see a open space in mine..............So i'm just going to build a custom switch panel to put there...
