The one we ordered for the 1989 GTA L98 ASC convertible was broke all to pieces inside the box Hawks shipped it in and the box was in 100% A-OK perfect condition.

Get Hawks to refund your money. We did.
Unfortunately, I ordered it nearly a full year ago. Well outside the return window.

That said, I'll still get my money's worth out of it... Hard to get accurate dimensions off the other unit I have.

Re: 1985-92 Firebird Center Console



Anyone want a replacement center console lid base plate? It's not perfect, but it is pretty darn close. This one didn't take too long, and It is just a starting point for the modifications I intend to make for my full console anyway, so file is available upon request. Only requirement is that you don't sell reproductions.

Re: 1985-92 Firebird Center Console

Would a guy be able to take the broken Hawks one he has and use this to make it a working center console lid?

Depends on how yours is broken. If it is just the base plate that is cracked, then sure. That's why I made this model.



If it is the upholstered top that has stripped out threads, or if your issue is with the metal arm, probably not. I am working on a solution that would use a Dremel and epoxy though... Not sure how it would hold up.

Something somewhat like these parts. I'll try printing these off and messing with my existing sh!tty console lid at some point here. Still need to do one more part.
