whats the best 4th gen console
ok i have a 1991 RS i am thinking about putting in a 4th gen console i have some questions.
1. i want cup holders what yeas had them?
2.do all the bottons match up or do you have to cut them out?
3.how hard is it to put in a 4th gen console in a 1991 RS?

1.) 93-96 consoles had only one cupholder. 97+ had four.
2.) A 4th gen console has no mounting holes for power mirrors or windows. I mounted my window buttons in the ashtray, and the mirror button in the cubby hole in front of the shifter. Looks very nice and clean.
3.) Putting a 4th gen console in a 3rd gen Firebird is as simple as taking out the old one and putting the new one in the exact same way. But with a Camaro you have to either hack up your old console or install a radio pod from a Firebird. The reason is a camaro console and the radio pod are one piece, so it won't be a direct bolt in replacement.

For these reasons, I'll be selling my 4thgenconsole in the summer and swapping back the 3rdgen console, albeit blacked out.

Why did you keep the ashtray flap... why not remove it, and mabey put in a nice little custom sqaure piece to finish it off nicely?

theres sooo much stuff i wanna do to my ride.... i think im gonna get the engine running nice with a few mods(exhaust, open air element...maybe headers....and new wires)... then comes the exterior.... body work/paint... then interior.... then rims .... this will take my about a year.... i cant wait...
but what do u think about the console... does it look good after installation? and how does it match up to the top part of the console on the dash...???
