its the same console they just put some slots on the rear side of it and slid a cup holder into the slots... i havent had mine out in a while but it wasnt a drastic change... ive got a 2004, 2005 and 2006 at my house... they started the cupholder in 2005... taking the console out is pretty easy... dont take my exact word for it but there is just 4 bolts on the side by the seats(2 on each side) so you have to move the seat all the way foward then all the way back to get to either ones... and then the rest are clips(like a door panal) so you have to pull up on it pretty hard to pop those clips... i might be mising a bolt but i dont think i am... its been about a year since i took mine out
