They are interchangable, alot of us 96-97 guys use the cupholder sections on the 98-04's to replace the ash tray section on ours.

You will have a gap at the back because of the height raise in the transmission tunnel in 1999, besides that it will work.

I like not having the '96-'97 console or the dash clock, it's really weird and annoying the little changes Ford makes.

I kinda wish i had the dash clock. My friend's '97 Cobra has it and i like how easy it is to read the time.

I hate trying to see the time on my 6-disk Mach 460. Usually in the AM the sun is low and shines right on it and i need to use my hand to sheild the sun to see how late i am for work and figure out how fast i need to drive to make up for it

Click to expand...

By cupholder section do you mean the whole console, or is the cupholders from a 98 able to fit in the ashtray area. I am looking at a whole console from a 01 on ebay, but it looks like a different shade of tan than the one in my 96 Cobra.

The interior tan in the '94-'98's is a saddle tan color and is fairly dark, whereas the tan in the '99-'04's is more of a beige and is lighter. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I wish I had cupholders like that

Sadly I have the ashtray one, which is the only one that is actually able to hold a drink. The other one is too shallow to hold anything?

not to hijack but are there any tricks to getting the console out...when I searched for console removal this is about all I got. I don't see any screws, and I won't to remove it and pad EVERYTHING to minimize creaking
