Center console swap - Honda Prelude Forum

mac187 · 03-27-2009, 12:59 AM

Has anybody swapped the center consoles before? mine is the big bulky long piece that runs from the back all the way to my e-brake. is it possible to swap that with the other one.

this is like the one i have in my car right now. (well actually i just took it out)

this is like the one i want to put in its place.

i havn't gotten down to trying out anything yet but i'm pretty sure that the new one won't fit around the e-brake just right. is it possible to move the e-brake slightly closer to the driver side in order to make it fit like this pic?

Are you wanting the '94 - '96 Console? If so, you'll need the '94 - '96 E-Brake also. This has been tons of times..

Do you need the Rear Leather Seat Divider? If so, I have one that I can sell you.

thanks, i have everything for the back i guess all i'm missing is the part that goes around the e-brake.

You posted a picture of the 94-96 console then you say that's not what you want?

Well the 92-93 had 2 different, 1 is the more common with the 4 switch slots and the ashtray at the end where I believe his is the longer version that connects to the rear center divider and has an armrest on top and no switch holes.

MLBZ521 · 03-30-2009, 08:25 PM

I was under the impression the one in his first picture was the more common one in the '92 - '93 Preludes...

minilogoguy18 · 03-30-2009, 10:04 PM

It might be, I just always see pics like the one I have, no center armrest and it doesn't connect with the rear seats, but from his topic he made it sound like he wanted the post face lift style.

Oh man. To end confusion:

92's were the only year of the sex blocker and locked compartment.
In the U.S. They only had the plain pocket for change or a flip up arm rest with a tiny pouch for change underneath.

In other markets, there was a plate where 4 long switches could go in place as well as a long pouch for change next to it.

93 was the only year of the stub console. It had an ash tray in the back and had an option for a spring loaded cupholder and compartment to be laid on top of it.
There was a leather seat divider in the rear to replace the sex blocker.

Both years had the ebrake in the center.

94-96 well, that's the obvious change with the working cup holder and offset e-brake.

^^Thank you..

Honestly, I never knew the "stub console," as you call it, and the overlay with Cup Holders came in the USDM. All I ever saw was the Rear Seat Divider Style Console.. But they style did have the option for the Multi-Disc Changer though.. I guess one good thing.. Heh

mac187 · 03-31-2009, 01:53 AM

yea i guess i thought i could find one that fit my e-brake but also had an armrest. this is what i ended up with...

still looking for something better if there is something out there like what i described.

Holy armor all!

92's had the 6 disc changer inside the box while 93 and up had it in the trunk.

I don't know what you mean looking for something better. I think your options have been explained pretty well.

Here's a link to another post where I posted pictures of all the consoles.
