Hey I don't blame you for not shelling out the money and it's not like anyone is going to see underneath it anyway so it doesnt really matter if it's factory as long as it holds the console in place. I've got a pretty nice auto console and have been pondering over a TKX swap for a while now. Thinking about buying a 4spd top plate and running it that way. After seeing how minimal the cuts need to be with this new torsion bar hoop, I might actually go for it. Can probably keep my carpet and still have the classy looking console set up in there while still keeping it looking stock.
