center console

[Rickpump76]

I just realized something from the dealerhip. I currently have 04, 5AT coupe and realized that AT coupes do not come with silver/platnium middle console like MT coupes do.

Is it possible to to change it to the ones on MT coupes? if yes, how much would dealership charge for it?

It is hard to keep my console clean and I think it'd be alot easier to clean if I had a console like the Manual coupes....and I think it looks nicer.

Funny, I never noticed the interior was different on the 5AT vs. the 6MT.

Pictures seem to show that it's nearly the same plate, but I'd imagine the gear selector hole would be different on the 5AT. I'd suggest getting the relevant section of the factory service manual to see if they match.

Do a search on this site for "factory manual 19.9", you can find a one-day subscription that will allow the access you need. I'd print out the relevant sections if it turns out you can do the swap. (Some people have downloaded the whole thing...)

called my dealership and they told me it'll be around $500 to exchange my black console into silver/platinum console!! WHAT A BULL$HIAT~~~~~[censored][censored][jaw]

[robb411]

come on....what is up with that? $500?

The Perfomace Package comes with the silver/titanium console.

The sticker price on the Performance Tire and Wheel Package for the 5AT is $900. Where do they come up with $500 for just he trim?.

I would ask what the part numbers are....and then check around.

Hope this link works...had had some infor from another forum:

Hey...but think about all those "free" car washes you can get if you buy your car from Sewell.

What exactly is the performance package? Is it only for the 5AT?

$800?!!?!??!! DAMN!! Did you ask for 14K gold plated center console or something? that's ridiculous.....

I'm starting to think if it is worth of paying $500..

good about having platinum center console:
1)looks nicer
2)easy to clean
3)looks clean
4)matches my car color(silver)

bad thing about platinum center console:
1)$500!!!
2)might get too hot for me to lean my arm while driving
3)$500!!!

[h22_luder]

I guess the $500 is the biggest issue here

I was thinking a junk yard...but I don't know how many wrecked G35 coupes are out there yet.

[Ru_G36c]

There's a good number of them.

http://www.partsamerica.com/

Both good places to get parts that are fairly cheap

I've seen a white G in one of the junk yards on loop 12. Perfect condition but it doesn't start

Hmmmm instead of just gettin a new console why not a dash kit? I got DG console but I'm thinking about a dash kit anyways, aluminum. Just a thought.

Because it's aftermarket. Everything's more expensive if it doesn't come on the car. The part is probably a couple hundred because it's OEM, then add on a couple hours of dealer service time at $80-100 per hour, and you'll hit $500 in no time.
