31893, RS to GS Arm rest conversion
Posted by 1998EclipseRS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
How much would this cost, would it raise horsepower, what about torque? No really, will a 1998 GS console fit in my 98 RS?!? Thanks for the help!

yup. get one, same bolts, etc. I did it. They are kinda hard to find at times. try www.msrecycling.com
or if u have a local junk yard w/ dsm's, u are set.

I did it too, snaps right in. I did my seats too. One of my favorite mods so far.

That has got to be one of the first things to do in a RS. You can get new parts from oem-car-parts.com for about 50-60 bucks. I ordered from then before I knew about 2gnt :)

i think you got it backwards, my friend has a Gs with center arm rest without a cover, my rs has a cover :rolleyes oh well who cares

I'm pretty sure the RS has the shitty little open cubby type deal, the GS has the arm rest. I'm pretty much 100% sure of that.

thats wierd, mines the factory blue too with a lid, but maybe it was an optional equipment

Here is what an RS looks like.

yeah, mine has the cover, and it is the rs blue, so that makes me think the cover was optional equipment

Satan will prolly ask you around 75 bucks for one. Thats what the junkyard originally told me so i turned around and started walkin out the door. Guess the guy was desperate for business cuz i offered him 25 and he accepted.
