Space for center console between Tiburon Seat swap

[KoopaKid]

For anybody who’s done the Tiburon seat swap; any idea how much clearance you had between the seats for a center console?

I’m looking at upgrading to this console:

Really hate the rather useless stock one, that’s the only reason I want to swap. This one appears to be 12.75” wide.

I highly doubt that will fit. There is only enough room for about an 8” wide console with the stock seats and they are not really wide seats. I ended up swapping in a newer console from an XJ (97-01) and find that it has a much more useful layout and design. Especially for the cup holders!

Thanks for that. I got a mini console to go around the shifter, and wanted to find a more useful armrest. 
 

I’d even considered an ice chest or modifying an ammo can to fit a cupholder, but I’m open to ideas. I’d really like something more compact, if that’s possible.

Yeah I had contemplated the same and took many measurements of the space. There just isn’t much to work with there width wise. 9” is about the widest your console could be between the seats and even that depends on how high you go. The floor is also very uneven near the rear of the tunnel.
