98 Cup holders

[5.0_GT_kid]

The 98 cupholder is a different color black than the our black, but it's not really noticable. It's the dark charcoal color.

Rockin Rick thanks for all that info, sounds like I'll most likely just do what you did.

On a different note, are you sure it was a 98 cup holder you got? As far as I know the dark charcoal wasn't until 1999. My buddy has a 98 GT with black interior and looks the same as mine

IIRC, I first did this in about 1999 on my previous 94 GT. I seem to remember the cup holder being black then. I then did this to my current 94 in May 2002. These are what the pics are from. The holder I got the second time around was dark charcoal. It's not really all that noticable. It matches my FR500 steering wheel. I imagine that once the supply of black 98's was gone, they got cross referenced over to the dark charcoal 99+ ones.

I ordered the parts (part numbers from the invoice) from my local dealer on 5/22/02:
Holder - F8ZZ6313562AAA $29.72
Mat - F8ZZ63047A74AAA $4.93

Of course, that was the cost then. Who knows what it's at now.

BTW - It seems like when I first did this in 99, they told me that the mat was like $60. I passed on it then. When I got it the second time around in 02, $5. Ford pricing.......

Oh yeah, I just remembered, when I did this in 02, I remember specifically asking for the 98 (not 99 or newer) cupholder for the color, as I knew that 99 changed the black to dark charcoal. I still got the dark charcoal.

has anyone ever put an entire console out of an 99-04 into their car?

 

[ProKiller]

i don't see why it wouldn't work. the color would be different.

 

[ProKiller]

ohh wait, on second thought, the foglight switch wouldn't work. the newer consoles have them under the radio. if you don't have them, then i guess your in the clear.

that is where my convertible top switch is. when i had my 2001, there was a rubber insert for sodas that fit into one of the cup holders. i would keep my change in that. a wiffle ball fit perfectly in it so that people couldn't see the change when they walked by and looked in the car. i would stash it in the console when i wasn't in the car.
