The first console pic was of a Crown Vic/Grand Marquis. I think that one would have been an easy install, but I couldn't find one. The other console is 2008-2012 Escape/Mariner/Tribute (pic is actually the Tribute). Problem with what I have now (2001 Explorer) is that it is "plasticy". It creaks and pops every time you even look at it. Also, it is very narrow where the shifter would be located. The main challenge with that is you have to fabricate the top part of the console to accommodate the shift lever and bezel. I'm just not feeling it with how it would look and that would be a butt load of work with fiberglass and bondo. Also, as mentioned before, I want to retain the OEM look. By using the Escape console AND shifter, the whole thing will look more natural.
There's always a SHORTY !
