Anyone else like the deleted center console look?

I was tempted to install the GT3 console delete that Matt mentioned but I really like the parcel shelf for my phone and wallet. Still tempted though.

That was also my question.

Read A/C delete -> check user's location -> "Wow, Arizona???!"

I sold that SC in VA before I moved to AZ and got every single penny back I had put into it. If didn't need a/c so badly in AZ, I'd ditch the 993 for an older model. This is the 993 center console, though I've since swapped it out for a black one for a cool contrast.

Except for the 5 gauge pod the OP's dash looks exactly like a standard 914.
In the appearance group 914 the console is just a screw in console as well. I like the console look but as a tall guy I hate my leg and foot up against the console.
I got my 914 without a console, I installed a console and liked the look, but when I installed my Rennshift I didn't put it back in.
I'm debating about whether to reinstall it, with my /6 conversion almost done I could use the console for some extra gauges.
Still on the fence.

I installed a radio delete panel in my 930 and moved the AC controls to the radio delete panel. I listened to the engine, not the radio. Worked great.

It does not look bad, but it would not work for my car and my needs. I have working A/C and power door locks. I use the cubby hole on road trips. I could not get rid of mine, but that is my car and my needs.



It is your car, it looks good and I hope you like it. Nice work.

I like it. One of those mods that is subtle, but really isn't if you know what was there.

I took mine out. It's so much roomier and simpler in there with the thing gone. The newest cars have you completely wedged into a small slot, surrounded by a huge console. I hate that. New Porsches included.

I vow to only buy old cars without consoles from now on, if I can get away with it. For real. I'm prepared to have a solid old car totally re-manufactured in order to avoid the acres of plastic garbage that are foisted off on us these days.

I love the look of the center console delete and I like the ergonomics of it. It gives your knees more room and makes the cabin feel less claustrophobic.

Just about everything on the dash and console of a 911 all the way to 1989 was an afterthought.

Whoa, now that is a clean carpet !
Let's see the garage or workshop if it's that caliber of OCD!

How much does the typical center console weigh?

By modern standards the console and shifter assembly are rather industrial looking.

To me they are just purposeful, no gimmickry.

[sand_man]

For me, it wasn't weight savings , it was aesthetics. I just like the more open look; decluttered.

[sand_man]

You know, I was just thinking (scary), but I cut my teeth on early VW Beetles (1950s and mid-1960s), and that might explain why I like the lack of a "console"...just the shifter sticking out of the floor, please.

nicely done.

[DaveE]

Yeah I took the one out of my SC as well. No AC so it just became a junk collector.
