Exclamation Can a 05 console swap be made in a 02 WRX?

Well just like it says, im looking into doing the whole interior swap from an 05 into my 02 WRX. And I was just wondering if the center console would fit in an 02? Also what about the climate control **** and the E-brake handle position, would it work?

I hope that helps. There was a member not too long ago who was selling the center console from an 05 that I wanted. The only problem was drilling a new hole for the parking brake to mount and the switch/button thing that was below the shifter trim...(I can't recall right now)

Most troublesome thing will be the relocation of the emergency brake.....
