Some weak spots to look for on the console..
Check the hinge side of the base for cracks or warpage. If you open the lid too far, it will crack out on the hinge side.
I also had a hard time finding a lid where the vinyl cover wasn't shrinking and pulling away from the foam padding underneath due to the high heat here.
And good luck finding one with the latch hook still intact. It took me six months of looking to find one.

Magnet, can you check something for me before you install it? Please check to see where the current cup holders lie up under the dash versus where the ones in the front of this console end up.
I ask because I currently have an EQ mounted under the dash, which interferes with tall cups in my current cup holder. I have the bench style seats with fold down armrest. I'm hoping the console cup holder doesn't sit as far under.

Take a look at the pic of mine further back in the thread and you can see it.
Magnet, if you need that insert, I may have an extra floating around somewhere. If not I can grab one for you next time i'm at the Junkyard and ship it to you.

Yea, mine is missing the insert. I'm not too worried about it, but it'd be nice to have. DV, this may still work for you, at least it has the third cupholder.
I didn't get the mounting hardware with it, though. I see it has 2 pegs that go into the floor, are the bolts the same 13mm that the rest of the body uses, or are they the smaller 10mm ?
