Default Changing my center console

Would a third gen center console fit in my 95 T/A? I know a lot of people will think this is a bad idea, but I'm not a big fan out our consoles. I think they're fugly. Third gens have more room for switches and such, they're a lot smoother and cleaner looking, plus I like the positioning of the power window switch more on third gens.

I've noticed that our consoles seem to be a little more on the narrow side, so I'm wondering if I could squeeze it in between our seats.

I think its a cool idea. Im sure you can fit it, I dont know if the dash will be in line though, but im sure you can put the console centered in between the seats.

I would be very inclined to say yes, as people with thirdgens have done the reverse.

The thing is, third gens seem to have a ton more room on the inside. I remember the first time I sat in my 88 Formula, I was shocked to find how much room there was on the inside. I grew to love where those window switches were. Guess I'd better learn to reroute and solder wires now

Thanks guys!

LOL. Thats hilarious.

We (I say we b/c I'm still a thirdgenner @ heart) have been swapping 4th gen consoles in for ages. It /could/ work for you. Give it a shot.
