    What color is your interior? I have a grey/blue console i think that is Moon Mist. Great condition, and no tears in the lid cover. Out of a 3rd gen.

    Did you find a console that fits? I also have an 88 and would like to replace the center console.

    Totally stock.
    Just my two cents...! Years ago I needed a console lid. I found another ( bigger & longer !) lid then cut it to fit my console. I then hinged it underneath with a tiny wood block and from the back with a screw. (See pics!) Went to Pep Boys and re-spray painted. I have YET to dremel, paint or sand so the finish looks better & hide cut marks or the screw! Good luck finding both ! :)console1.jpg console2.jpg con21.jpg con41.jpg

    Metal ammo bin. Google the images, they look pretty cool as a centre console

    I was thinking some plywood and lots of shag carpet.

    You are totally reading my mind now. I've been talking about putting shag carpet and bean bag chairs on the back of mine since I bought it. Lol
