    Look at the contour on the bottom, it kinda goes upward. I don't think that'll work in our cars. But if you level it off with a saw then it might fit.

    It's a nice console, i like it better than the pinto one i used. [​IMG]

    I just remembered that manual cars have a hump where the shifter goes, so who know it might be a direct fit.

    Maverick75,

    I scored one of those Pinto pieces a long time ago. I was working on it to getting it to fit better ... trimmed about a 1/2" off the top, and it tucked in under the dash better. It was out of the way of the glovebox door that way. I was going to use it and then stumbled upon my Versailles console. I ended up giving it to ShinySideUp. He cut the tray area out, and made a wood insert with cup holders.
