good f'in luck.. it's been done but takes a lot of custom fabrication. Can't help you much more than that

Yeah, you should have gone with the Firebird center console. It doesn't have the large front end and fits like a dime in the 3rd gens. Here's a link to another forum where these guys have posted dozens of pics of 3rd gens with the 4th gen consoles. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.

I've got my old center console that I've been needing to get rid of if your interested. It's the older style that only has the one cup holder in the center. It's in good shape, I just have yet to find a box that it will fit in.

what kind or modifications are they talking about for the automatic console? is the shifter replaced as well? can you use the manual shifter in automatic car?

i think you just have to loosen the bolts that hold down the automatic shifter and slide it over. not sure on this just got started in this type of modification. someone else may be able to tell you more.

Yeah, I upgraded mine to the 98-02 style a while back when I first got my car. Couldn't stand not having any decent cupholders. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/696690/2
