08 console replacing 03 console?

I want to install a 08 console in my 03 and get rid of the crappy console I have now. The thing I have not figured out yet is will it work in my truck if I take the armrests off and how bad does it look after I take the armrests off? I f some one has done this please give me your input and if you have a pic that would be awsome. I have searched and found reference to the armrests but never seem to find the end result posted. thanks aaron

All the cabs are basically the same, so theoretically an 08 console should fit into an 03 cab.

Not sure why you'd want to take off the arm rests, but it isn't mandatory.

I know the console will fit but I am assuming I wont beable to open it because the console is wider and the lid will hit on the armrests when I open it up. I f can just leave them thats better yet.

If your going to swap the dash, why not the door panals also to eliminate the armrest problem.
