Default Auto console in a manual

Is there anyway to get an auto center console to fit in a 6sp. From pictures looks like the only difference is the shifter hole. Possible to just cut the rest of the oval out for 6sp use? Or is there more different between them than that.

I'd be interested in this also.. manual shifting is slowly becoming an issue for the both of us.

What I'm referring to is actually swapping the Manual trans for an Automation trans. Is this your intention also or are you just looking for the center console?.

I just installed the Tuffy. Beefy. Expensive? Yes, really only worth paying $250-300 but it's the only damn thing out there right now and I want some summertime security!

Having said that, I'll have an OEM black center console from a 2012 up on the selling block soon...

I guess i am missing something here, is there a difference between the 2 style's besides where the little storage tray is located?
why would you want to swap something that is the same thing? unless your's is broken for some reason and the auto is the only you can find.

Yeah I'd definitely have one already for that but, over $450 just isn't as appetizing.
