I'm a pretty mechanical guy. Have a garage full of tools.
When I saw the Center console offered on eBay, I had to go for it.
It arrived as described, even the big speaker for the sound system.
Removing the existing simple console without the arm rest was easy.
Figure out all the new attachment/hand brake assemble took a few minutes by lining up the holes. had to make a brake indicator light switch jumper wire.
I had the crimp spades and wire in the tool box.
It took a couple tries to get the assembly order correct.
But all is working, and it looks like my 1 month old 09 is a stock SC.
Only disapointment is that the new console did not have the cable to connect the additional 12 volt cigar lighter type addapter inside the arm rest.
I'll just make my own as soon as I can find the correct 12 volt pair.
If your 'mechanically inclined and spot a console being parted out' go for it.
