Hello all,
I purchased a 2001 Impala X police car. The car does not come with a centre console (between the driver and passnager seat) I was wondering if anyone else who may have purchased a X police impala had this problem and if you did, was there any luck finding what you were looking for?

I'd try one of those "you pull it" parts places if you can find one locally...I don't think it'd be too hard to replace. One thing you might notice is the 2000 model bench seat cupholders were sort of flimsy...the 2001 model went to a "molded in" style that is not only stronger, but won't drip condensation on your seats. I've contemplated replacing my 2000 arm rest/console with a 2001 version for that very reason. Of course I haven't done it yet, so odds are I won't...but if I were in your shoes, I'd consider getting the "improved" version when I replace it.

Just got an Impala SS loaded (wood grain, of course, not the fake metallic stuff - by the way, why does gm hate to make cars that are black w. the neutral interior? took forever to locate this car). Anyway, very happy, but like most of you, I think it could look better. The website says they have a dealer option for the Chrome Five Spoke Triangular Wheels (they look great) but the dealer says the wheels still have not come out. Question
1. Has anyone else looked into this and could you shed light on this for me?
2. Does anyone have these wheels already and would you post a pic of the car so we could get a sense of one looks like w. the wheels?
Thanks, John

Did you find one? I have looked everywhere online and would like to replace my 2000 center console, tan, with a new and improved one. My cup holder finally broke, but "Gorilla Glue" put it back together. Are 2001 center consoles compatible with the 2000? Thanks for any info.

I've actually never looked, as my cup holders are still holding together. While I haven't compared the two, I can't imagine why the 2001-2005 bench seat console/armrest wouldn't fit in a 2000 model. My recommendation would be to find a "you pull it" parts place and see if you can find one, and also see what's involved in removing/replacing the part - if you can tear into the parts car seat and figure it out, you'll get a pretty good idea as to whether it's doable or not.
My guess is it should be a pretty simple connection between the bracket that is connected to the seat, and the actual armrest...but I'd experiment with the donor car first just in case.
