I had been wondering this myself, I like the gauges in the front of the 5th gen console.

I think they are close in lenght, if not maybe a tad longer? I do know the shifter area is deff smaller on the auto since they only have like D|N|R|P instead of 1|2|D|OD|R|P, but when swapping console most go for 5/6 speed ones anyway

I'm thinking the center console would look cool, I'm sure we could make it work!

You'd probably have an easier time finding a way to make a 1st gen cluster console fit(since that's what the 5th gens are modeled after), I'd think at least, or make your own.

Well, I found a link yesterday to a 5th gen console in a 1st gen, so maybe it won't work in a 3rd gen. I'll see if I can dig the link up. You'd be better off making your own or modifying an existing one to look like it. It being a little longer in either direction we could deal with/work around, but I am looking and I think the e-Brake is too far away from the shifter and other things won't line up.
