The main reason as to why I want the newer style center console is because of the fact that my ebrake scrapes the side of the center console when the ebrake handle is up all the way. This is digging into my center console and ruining it. Not only that, but the little piece of rubber between the center console and the ebrake handle (the piece that basically fills in the gap so nothing falls down into the center console) is ripping. I've already had my center console off several times to replace the rubber piece. I really don't care about the cup holders, in fact, I'd rather have the ash tray because I bought a switch plate from a mustang site (forget what site) that replaces the ash tray with a metal piece of aluminum with four switches on it. You can hook anything up to the switches (line lock switch, nitrous, anything really). It's really handy. But anyways, my main concern was as to whether or not the ebrake handle from newer center consoles will be easy to install since it's located in a different spot. My ebrake handle is in the center of my center console, and that's where the ebrake assembly bolts to the floor pan. I believe, from what I've seen in pictures a while ago, that the newer style center console locates the ebrake more towards the passenger side. And it also has an ebrake boot (much like a shifter boot) instead of a stupid strip of rubber. Does anyone know if the new center console is adaptable?
