would a civic center console/armrest fit?

I was curious if these would fit. I sat in a couple of civic hatch backs the last couple of days and I was thinking that the console looked like it would fit in the geo really well. Any ideas on this?

See they look like they would fit. I am going to try and get a measurement for these.

It might. Certainly looks close. Got any local salvage yards that would let you 'test fit them'

I was wondering the same thing. I would like to have the center console for storage if it would fit. Would you post the measurements once you get them?

I am going to try and get a full complete console and photograph it in with measurements. I really think I could make this fit. from sitting in the cars and then sitting in mine, I feel it would be a real close call. These are some yards local to me, But I think I saw one complete on cl. Ill ask the guy and see if he will let me test fit it in mine.

The Civic armrest fits... but just the armrest part, not the front part with the cup holders, in the newer cars. My 2000 Swift has one now - I had to do some creative trimming and making of adapters for screw holes to line up.

If it wasn't for the SRS computer everything might have fit.

I was thinking of one out of a 92-95

Just my 2 cents, the arm rest looks like it will be too far back for you to use. I have a Neon in mine (97 Metro) and to use the armrest I still have to have the seat almost all the way back. Color matches and it looks oe. I have it as far forward as I could get it to still have full use of the emergency brake handle.

If you can't test fit it, take a tape measure and measure it well. Then, sit in your car and make a decision. Is it going in a 91 Metro? Let us know what you decide.
