This has been done before. Use search and you'll find a ton of info. We see this question about once a week.

Very nice, what did you have to modify to get the console in? And is it secured in place?

Re: 4th gen center console in an iroc???

How did you guys fix the hatch and pwr window button to configure to the 4th gen dash? My 91 camaro has the switchs in the center console so just wondering where they are modded in the 4th gens dash??!!

Re: 4th gen center console in an iroc???

well you can easily cut a small piece out anywhere in the console to make your switch fit or just hide it somewhere where you can get to...or put it in the ashtray

Re: 4th gen center console in an iroc???

It will likely decrease the value of your car (of course this depends on how far gone the rest of the interior is).

If your interior is original and in good condition, then yes, the 4th gen console will decrease your cars value. The vast majority of people who are willing to pay decent money for these cars will spot it in about 2 seconds, and won't like it.

If your interior is already too far gone (seats and other parts swapped out), then it won't make a difference.
