Center console F-ed up

[cecil-1]

My shifter surround/cup holder does not stay in place. The tabs are broken on the console they secure to. Surfing E-bay i found this

Anyone have em? How do ya like em?

you will be wetsanding and having to reclear them. All that stock left has signs of shelf wear. But thats no big deal if you know how to do it.

Just buy the clips at your local dealer and if you want any graphics my friends water transfer shop can do any graphics or carbon fiber look you want fairly inexpensively. Check out their site: www.sourcehydro.com

Mud thats good to know. Have ya used any of these? Do they fit close to stock pieces? I've used aftermarket parts that don't fit at all and look like s--t.

Glennf1 Wish I could but my clips on the cup holder are fine. It's the slots they snap into on the console that are gone.

These were going for $232 yesterday when I checked em out. Now they are going for $298 today on the same auction. Is the vendor on this forum? Thats my luck.

I have them in my SUV. They look great. They are factory replacement part so they fit perfectly. The only issue is that switch hole in the part on the left side of the dash that contains the A/C vent. Don't know what the switch is supposed to be for so I cant even buy one to fill the hole. Also, in the ad it says no air vents included but most of them were in the set I got. Only the rear vents were missing.

Thanks for the reply Mister Peebody. I contacted SAE and inquired about the price. They said it was on sale but just went back off. they are shipping me a set at the $232. I can't wait to get em. This cupholder jumping around every time i grab my coffee cup is annoying as hell.

Does anyone know what that switch hole is for? And can ya still get the switch from GM?

Heated washer switch...they fit great.

[cecil-1]

Mud. I checked with the local GM parts department and they don't list a heated washer switch for an 03. Are ya talking about the switch for 08-09 h2's? Do you know if they make a block off plate(plug) for the opening? Or if any other GM switches will fit?
Sorry for all the ?'s. I haven't been able to get anywhere with the gm parts guy.

The dash kit came in and looks great. The E-bay auction stated it didn't come with the vents but i did get all the front vents with it.

[Hellz]

how is the overall condition of everything?

i am interested in this just for the carbon fiber look, and i have $$ burning a hole in my paypal acct.

im fine with some scratchs, but if it is all scratched up...

dang really? That's the one thing that pushes me off is the no vent deflectors. They are expensive to buy 4 big ones and 2 small ones for a complete set. What about the scratches-how did they look? I've been watching that auction forever!

[cecil-1]

I only have a couple very small scratches on these ya have to really look for em to even spot em. The vents for the rear pass.vents just pop out of the old piece and snap into the new one. If your thinking about em.....get em. They look BADASS. I'm very happy with em. Just need to find what will fit in the hole next to the headlight switch. My local GM parts guy can't figure it out.

Anyone?

[LoJac963]

I've searched to death about that switch and from what I understand it has been discontinued for quite some time. Most people just find a switch from Radio Shack or anywhere else that fits the hole

[PaHumBug]

Yeah just buy a push button from radio shack, and a train horn from hornblasters.com, and you'll be happy that hole was there...

You will not find the GM part. They were all pulled w/ the recall. There are a few buttons from radioshack that will fit.

All those dash pieces DID come w/ the vent deflectors, all DC outlets, buttons, plastic bucket on the rear of the center console, rear radio controls, etc. Only item not included was the heated washer switch. Whats you are seeing is old stock thats had parts raided from it.

Just pull the vents from your stock pieces. Paint them black and put them on the new panels.

Does anyone have any pictures of these installed?

I am wondering how these would look with my factory tan and silver 03 interior

[H2Much]

I have these in mine from SAE, they worked out pretty good, just had to take the vents and a few clips from my old setup and popped them in the new ones. I got the carbon fiber ones, they do not look bad at all for the price and they fit just fine. I was a little pissed off about the hole in there for the window washer heater switch, still trying to find something to shove in there so that it doesn't look so stupid.

Other than that, you really just cannot beat the price for all of these parts. Especially when you know all of GM's garbage interior trim parts are going to break eventually anyways.

[jsbihn]

do they only come in carbon fiber?
does anyone have pictures of them installed?
and do they offer the plastic dash piece that is closest to the windshield and has the hole for the temp sensor? (some how I ended up with a small 1 inch crack in that piece)
