OK, please stay on topic. We don't really need to continue with another multi-page thread of banter that does not really contribute to the subject.

Thanks.

Re: "Camaro" 3rd gens with 4th gen console help

Can the radio/AC portion of the 3rd gen console, be cut off, to fit a 4th gen console? Making it a"hybrid" console?

Re: "Camaro" 3rd gens with 4th gen console help

i dont think so unless you do some major modding. i tried it with my 2002 console and it didnt work out so well so i had to stop and order a firebird radio pod and i just got it and now need camaro owners to start helping. all though ik camaro guy has a 4th gen console which looks like a 3rd gen radio section from his 3rd gen must got a earlier year console then what i bought

4th gen Firebird 2 cup console + thirdgen firebird radio/hvac pod = a good fit

Re: "Camaro" 3rd gens with 4th gen console help

I think part of it is that 4th Camaro dashes basically suck in comparison to 4th gen firebird dashes. Just my opinoin..

you dont need to trim the dash or the pod.
get the console bolted up, then jam the pod in there and bolt it up the best way you see fit.
every car fits different here and there.
