Rear heater console area, 96-98 vs 99-02? New mod
 

Did this area change at all for 96-98 vs 99-02? I'm hearing the 99-02 may be longer above the cupholder piece?

Well, it looks like they did.

99-02

The piece above the cupholder. The console in general is higher.

I know when I wen't from my 96 center console to the newer 99+ model it seemed taller when resting my arm on it but I don't recall exacly how much higher but I do have 2 more drink holders in the right place now :laugh:
Jason, if you really need pic I can go dig out my older 96 console and snap a few pics for you.

Here is why I was asking. I did a custom piece made for the rear and based it off 99. I was wrong.

I fixed it an cut it down. Pic is before, which you can see the 99 is taller. Wonder why they do these changes sometimes.

i can see a mod coming in my future, lol, the 00 armrest is kinda low

You have the higher armrest if you have a 99-02. 96-98 is lower. I think mine is just perfect now. Wonder how a 99+ feels.

nm, i read it wrong, man, and i was getting all excited too, lol

thats not that much of a difference.. 1" you wont really feel.

Done.

i like that mod, looks slick

Looks great. I like my arm rest as it is now. The newer isnt as comfortable for me.

Thanks.

I can probably have these made for anyone else that wants it, in any color, etc.
