Gen 7 Console in Gen 6 Celica, I'm wondering if anyone has swapped to the gen 7 center console Options

Hey all,

I'm always looking for something fun to do to my gen 6, well today I was driving my gen 7; I looked down, and said, why not shove the gen 7 center console in the gen 6 car.... so I went to searching and I can't find a single article or forum post where someone has done this.

I'm tempted, anyone given it a try?

If you'd prefer better you can get cup holders that mount under your stereo head unit. It's a single DIN unit that mount's like a radio and cup holders pop out. This is available as a somewhat rare JDM official 6gc equipment, or as an universal cheap version. But you need to have a double DIN central panel and a single DIN head unit.
I you really want that 7gc compartment I'm sure you'll find a way, but it can prove very difficult to fit it together. My simple solution to the cup holder problem is that I just don't use it, which means no coffee in the car

Considered it, but I'm running a double din touch screen at the moment.
