Anyway to change the center console to the JDM look? - Honda Prelude Forum

Broken Devil · 10-06-2003, 08:32 PM

I think i saw a pic where instead of having the console divide the backseat in half there was just a normal hump on the upholstery. Would this be a difficult swap?

Accccctuallllly, some 92-93's don't have it, while others. The long may have been standard on 92's, but there are some 93's with it as well. They might be dealer add-ons or cars built early in the production runs.

I believe all 92's came with the long console, and in 93 there were 2 offered, a short one (still e-brake in the middle) and the long one.

hmm both my JDM 93 and Si 92 have a long console

yohan420 · 10-07-2003, 02:31 PM

ok, come again??? theres a 93 with a short one that has the e-brake in the middle still ??

Does it have a drink holder ? .. is this a direct swap w/o needing to move the brake to get it into the 92 ??

I totaly agree the split back seats is ghey. wasted storage area IMO.

No kidding. I love my console, makes up for the lack of a glove box, as well as the lack of cupholder.

SkyHighBB2 · 10-07-2003, 07:25 PM

TTIWWOP!!!! are we talking about the front or the rear???? is the long console the one with the cupholder and the harmrest, which came on 93-up's??? do people actually want to get rid of there 'long' consoles for short ones (which I assume are w/out) the armrests?
ugh, I'm so confused!!!!

yohan420 · 10-08-2003, 01:28 PM

It's all about the beverage holder. The extra space is cool but ..

Also, I don't like how the back seats are separated. I don't like to move the drivers seat .. ever... if there are passengers they really get shafted if they are in my car, rarely do I have 4 ppl in the car ... but when I do, or when I go camping, its nice to be able to use the length of the backseat ...

I don't undersatnd how an 85 prelude has more trunk space, & back seat room, and both seats fold down (well albeit the 4ws box had to go somewhere) but I think for "spaciousness" our cars could have been better designed.

But I guess to conclude to the question in the topic ... If its 92/93 short console and the e-brake is in between its as simple as replacing the parts. Otherwise, its moving / welding the e-brake into place so it'll fit the new setup.

So yeh, its possible.

here i just went outside and took this real quick. .orig.jpg for full size.

yohan420 · 10-08-2003, 02:03 PM

That's a much cleaner looking back seat than the 92 w/ long console IMO.

92prelude92 · 10-08-2003, 02:03 PM

^^ tru... but no storage space at all w/out that long thing in the middle ..

my bro's 93 vtec doesn't have that long thing in the middle... but my 92 does....

prelude styl · 10-08-2003, 02:08 PM

yeah unless changed, all 92's have the same console. In 93 I guess the one I have was an option, or maybe came on only a certain model.. not sure exactly, but they're more uncommon than the long one.

4bidden · 10-08-2003, 02:18 PM

I swapped my 92 console out for the 93......trying to find a junkyard that has the optional cup holder for the 93 in stock though.

blacklude4k · 10-08-2003, 04:30 PM

ya but the good thing about the 92 long console is a PS2 fits in there perfectly

CrazieLude · 10-08-2003, 05:46 PM

prelude styl...you're back seats look different than mine. Thats weird.

Broken Devil · 10-08-2003, 06:35 PM

Ok what exactly do you need to do the swap? And how can i find out if there are any good junkyards in the Springs?
