Hey guys. I have been looking and looking. What I am thinking of is a older style console in my '00 SVT.

I have read a lot of the cupholders being a big problem for some. For me this is trivial. What I would like to do is put an equalizer in a console that would work my ES like Sony.

This is not the only reason I am doing this, but I just think the smoother lines would improve the looks.

I really thought about this when I saw a dealership's preview video of a 98 SVT with an older console.

Thanks guys,
Mike

Yes it can be done. I also have an EQ in the slot below too.

I saw that, but I will not work in my car. I do not have that extra space below my stereo. If I were to put this in my car there would be a sace between the top of the console and the bottom of the dash.

Is this the way that all pre 98s are?

This is the way the 1993-2000 Mondeos in Europe are.

Powerford's pulling your leg a bit. That actually IS a '93 Mondeo.

I modified a pre-'98 for my car - pics in sig.

Heres a pic: I have since filled the gap between the two consoles. And it looks completely stock! I'll take another picture tomorrow.



More Pics at my website(In my sig.)....Good luck!

Let me know if you have any questions

Yes, as you can see the early console can be fit to the later cars. I know of four or five people right off the top of my head that have one installed, including my self. And mine is in a 98.5 ATX...It looks much much better than the original piece. Only concern is that you'll have to paint it to match if you have the Midnight Blue interior. I don't have my pics uploaded right now but I will and I'll get back to this post when they're done.

Edit

Okay, pics are up.

Just ordered a console and clock from a guy I found in the classified section for @58.00 (including shipping and handling for both pieces. Hopefully the tan color matches the one I have now, and a clock, now I can use the different displays on my stereo. Woo Hoo.
I'll keep you guys posted on how my install goes.
