Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following: used original GM roof-mounted overhead console for the 1984-1987 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird, including applicable Formula and Trans Am models.
This factory GM overhead console was offered under Regular Production Option DK6. It mounts along the center of the interior roof and combines several convenience features into one distinctive third-generation F-body interior component.
Original overhead consoles are frequently incomplete, sun-damaged, cracked, discolored or missing entirely. A good used GM console provides an original-equipment foundation for restoring a vehicle originally equipped with RPO DK6 or completing a carefully planned overhead-console retrofit.
Two different housing configurations were manufactured:
- T-top overhead console
- Hardtop overhead console
The T-top and hardtop housings have different roof contours and do not interchange. Select the correct roof configuration for the vehicle.
These are used original GM components. Available units are not complete assemblies and do not include every component originally installed in the console. Contact Hawks Motorsports for current availability and photographs of the exact unit before ordering.

Broader 1982-1992 Retrofit Applications
Used-parts sellers frequently catalog this roof console under the broader 1982-1992 Camaro and Firebird platform because it can be adapted to other third-generation F-body model years with the proper roof configuration and supporting provisions.
However, RPO DK6 was primarily a 1984-1987 factory application.
Installing the console in a 1982-1983 or 1988-1992 vehicle should be treated as a retrofit rather than a factory-correct replacement. A retrofit may require changes to the headliner, interior wiring and roof-area installation provisions.
Verify the roof style and complete installation requirements before ordering a console for a vehicle that was not originally equipped with the overhead-console option.
Important Fitment Requirements
- Factory-correct primary application is 1984-1987
- Broader 1982-1992 use represents retrofit compatibility
- Fits Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird interiors
- Includes Formula and Trans Am applications where properly equipped
- Does not fit convertible models
- T-top and hardtop versions are different
- T-top and hardtop housings do not interchange
- Match the roof configuration before ordering
- Verify whether the vehicle was originally equipped with RPO DK6
- Camaro- and Firebird-branded removable flashlights differ
- Exact included components vary with each used unit
- Electrical components may require inspection or repair
- Request photographs of the actual available console before purchasing
T-Top Versus Hardtop Consoles
The T-top and hardtop overhead consoles are not the same.
T-Top Version
The T-top console has a flatter profile designed to fit the center roof structure between the removable roof panels.
Select the T-top version for an applicable Camaro, Firebird, Formula or Trans Am equipped with factory-style T-tops.
Hardtop Version
The hardtop console has a more rounded contour that follows the shape of the solid coupe roof and headliner.
Select the hardtop version for an applicable fixed-roof coupe without T-tops.
A hardtop console should not be installed in a T-top vehicle, and a T-top console should not be installed in a hardtop vehicle. The incorrect housing may not follow the headliner contour or align with the roof area properly.
Original Overhead-Console Features
A complete factory DK6 overhead console could incorporate the following features:
- Dome or courtesy light
- Swiveling map light
- Map-light control button
- Interior-light control button
- Two reminder or selector roller wheels
- Small storage pouch
- Removable rectangular flashlight
- Camaro- or Firebird-specific flashlight identification
These features describe the original overhead-console design. They are not a guarantee that every component is included with the used console currently available.
The Hawks Motorsports listing specifically identifies the available consoles as incomplete. Confirm the included housing, lights, lenses, buttons, roller wheels, pouch, flashlight and electrical components from photographs of the actual unit.
Camaro and Firebird Identification
The basic overhead-console design was shared between the Camaro and Firebird lines. One notable model-specific difference is the identification used on the removable flashlight:
- Camaro flashlight with Camaro identification
- Firebird flashlight with Firebird identification
The removable flashlight is frequently missing from used consoles and should not be assumed to be included.
If factory-correct model identification is important, confirm the flashlight type and every included component before ordering.
Used-Part Condition
This is an original used GM interior component. It is not new, restored or reproduced unless specifically stated for the selected unit.
Normal used-part conditions may include:
- Surface scratches
- Scuffs
- Fading or discoloration
- Dust or storage residue
- Stiff reminder wheels
- Worn or damaged storage pouch material
- Missing dome-light lens
- Missing map-light components

Electrical-Component Notes
Used map lights, dome lights, buttons, bulb contacts and wiring may require cleaning, repair or replacement.
Unless the individual product is specifically described as tested, electrical operation is not guaranteed. Inspect the wiring and electrical contacts before connecting the console to the vehicle.
Do not assume that the removable flashlight is functional or that its internal battery remains serviceable. Original rechargeable battery components can deteriorate after decades of storage and use.
Restores a Distinctive Factory Option
The roof console is one of the most recognizable optional interior components offered in the third-generation Camaro and Firebird.
A used GM overhead console is suitable for:
- Replacing a missing original DK6 console
- Replacing a cracked console housing
- Replacing a severely faded or damaged console
- Restoring a Camaro Berlinetta overhead console
- Restoring an IROC-Z or Z28 interior
- Restoring a Firebird, Formula, Trans Am or GTA interior
- Completing a factory-option restoration
- Providing the foundation for an overhead-console retrofit
- Replacing a console with damaged light openings
- Preserving an original GM interior appearance
Installation Notes
A vehicle originally equipped with RPO DK6 provides the most straightforward installation because its headliner and electrical configuration were designed for the overhead console.
Before installation:
- Confirm whether the vehicle has a T-top or hardtop roof.
- Verify that the selected console matches the roof configuration.
- Compare the used console with the original component.
- Inspect the housing for cracks or damaged attachment areas.
- Inventory every included light, lens, button, wheel and storage component.
- Inspect the wiring and electrical contacts.
- Test the light functions before completing installation.
- Verify that the console follows the roof and headliner contour.
- Confirm that the dome and map lights operate correctly.
- Check that the selector wheels rotate without excessive force.
- Verify that any included storage pouch closes and supports its contents.
- Confirm that the installed console sits evenly against the headliner.
A retrofit into a vehicle not originally equipped with the overhead console requires additional planning. Verify the headliner configuration, interior-light wiring and roof-area provisions before modifying the vehicle.
Care and Cleaning
Clean the used console with a microfiber cloth and an automotive interior cleaner approved for aged molded plastic.
Avoid aggressive solvents, abrasive pads and excessive scrubbing. Older plastic can become brittle and may crack if flexed or forced.
Clean electrical contacts only with products intended for automotive electrical components. Avoid saturating light sockets, buttons, reminder wheels or the storage-pouch area.
If the console includes an original storage pouch, test cleaning products on a concealed area before treating the entire surface.
