Product Description:
This new reproduction automatic upper-console shifter plate is designed for compatible 1997-1999 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with the factory automatic-transmission center-console arrangement.
The plate is injection molded in the correct Graphite Gray finish and includes the integrated ashtray lid and forward storage cubby, restoring a cohesive factory-style appearance when the original upper console is cracked, faded, scratched or incomplete.

- One Graphite Gray automatic shifter plate
- Integrated ashtray lid
- Integrated front storage cubby
- Factory-style molded texture and contours
The automatic shifter, gear-indicator mechanism, center console, cigarette-lighter assembly and wiring are not included. Transfer the compatible original lighter assembly.
Graphite Gray Restoration Finish
The molded Graphite finish matches the 1997-1999 interior color family and avoids the obvious mismatch created by installing the later Ebony version.
Complete Visible Assembly
The shifter surround, ashtray lid and storage cubby are supplied together to replace several highly visible, wear-prone console pieces at once.
Factory-Style Fit
The plate reproduces the original mounting profile and surface texture for an installation that integrates with the stock automatic console. Prior console damage should be repaired before final assembly.
- Set the parking brake, place the shifter safely and disconnect the battery.
- Photograph the existing console, lighter wiring and any clips before disassembly.
- Remove the original upper plate according to the factory procedure without levering against brittle trim.
- Disconnect and retain the compatible cigarette-lighter assembly and reusable application-specific pieces.
- Compare the new plate with the original, including openings, tabs, texture and Graphite color.
- Transfer the lighter assembly and route its wiring away from moving shifter components.
- Test-fit the plate and verify shifter clearance in every selected gear position.
- Fasten the plate evenly, reconnect the battery and confirm correct operation.
