i broke my center console when replacing the carpet and got me thinking about having no center console. just wondering if anybody has pictures so i can see what it looks like?
You could always relocate the headunit up, and then put gauges in the vents to keep the smooth no center console look, along with nothing hanging below from the a/c controls.
Couldn't live without my little consol/cassette holder/armrest. I had an armrest delete in the car when I bought it and I hated it on long trips. It’s so nice to just rest your elbow on when you drive. I do wish the center console wasn't so rickety and noisy, but by 3,000RPM, my exhaust usually drowns out any interior noises anyway.
And hey....no center console means no cup holder. Gotta have something to hold your drink in place when you're wedging it between the E-Brake handle and the side bolster of the passenger seat.
....I wasnt a fan of the console either. Feels a lot more muscular without it. Here is my '95 GT without it. Im posting this to give you ideas about the shifter and e-brake boots.
I bought a leather e-brake boot, and then cut a hole big enough in a rear floor mat to lay it over the boot and e-brake lever. Easy fix to cover, especially because the e-brake is off center in the SN-95, so a flat bezel wouldnt sit around it to hold the boot down. Hope this helps open your mind, friend.

Looks great....what did you do with the metal under the dash near the shifter?
Thanks for getting back to me. I have a 94 cobra. I want to ditch the center console. Yours was the cleanest I have seen on line. The metal I'm talking about is the metal framing on either side of the dashboard down where the console and the shifter meet the dashboard. When you take the center console out there is framing where the console mounts to underneath where either the CD player is or that little cubby hole is. but thank you. I'll keep doing some homework. I didn't see the how old this post was. I apologize take care. God bless.
