Default 1999 mustang center console

I have a 1999 GT that a bought a while back and I love the car, but the very first and most annoying problem I found out first was the placement of the cup holders, they are absolutely useless and I cannot use them, I always have to have my passenger hold the drinks. But I was wondering if I could replace it with a center console from a 2002-2004 GT and have it fit. Thank you.

The 2002-2004 Mustang has the same center console configuration as your '99 with the cup holders located directly behind the shifter. Bearable if you have an automatic, obnoxious if you have a manual.

No they're different, the 99-00 the cup holders are closer to the shifter and connnected to each other, the 01+ one is pushed further back close to the center arm rest and has a removeable rubber fitting for a bigger bigger cup.

You can do it. Friend of mine has an '01+ center console in his '98.

I am in the process of changing my 99 Cobra interior to black. The newer style consoles are easier to hold drinks in. I had that console in my old GT.

Just make sure your new console comes with the wiring harness or else you will have to mod yours to fit. Not a big deal, I modded mine to fit this 03 Mach 1 console.

Cant even tell its not factory

if you dont learn to buy drinks with lids and stuff them by the seatbelt buckle, your doing mustang wrong

go to the drive through in your other car or find a drink bitch to hold them

gotta swap entire consoles and yes its easily done
