Thats a GK console right? How hard would it be swapping it into an RD?


I really like the front bumper too!

Nice glass work, but the colors are a bit much for me. My tastes run more to the understated Euro look... blacks and grays.

*haha* Guys...he wasnt talking about the dash...he was talking about the center console area. It does look like its from a GK, and not an RD console. I would assume its just a direct drop in, but not sure if the stock RD shifter surround plate fits a GK console. May have to do some custom work for it to fit.

Hmmm, I think I'll go to my buddies auto salvage this weekend and pick one up!, I would love to be able to have more coffee holders cause my stock slide tray is hard to use with my screen up and also keep hitting it with my fist when shifting... Ive pretty much raped all the rd's down there over the years but not the gks... If not this weekend,may be the next,supposed to race all weekend., If I get one,i'll post about it.

Hummm i've always wanted to have an armrest! If it not too complicated to fit, i'll probably do it!


Keepin' an eye on that thread!


EDIT: I went on HMA and took a look at the Rd console vs the GK:

RD console :



GK console (2003):



They seem very different....

i could probably get a hold of my cousin and try and put his center console in my car, even though his is an auto it should still be about the same.
