I also redid the seats while they were out, sure looks much nicer.

Hmmm, I believe mine was down 1/4 to half inch. I can't run out and look now that it is all buttoned up, but that would be my best guess. Also, not saying this is the prettiest job, but I had the wrecking yard cut me a section of zf tunnel that I laid over my cut, with a rubber gasket sealed in between it and the car. I then drilled and screwed it into place. I thought if I ever wanted a access panel this would be the way to have it. Also the shifter rubber fits the hole nicely. Randy

Yup it looks like yours sits just a tad higher then mine, but not by much.
LOL you are not going to put clear plexiglass in so you can watch the driveline, road etc are you?
I feel ok with mine, it is solid, sealed and you can't see it with the carpet over it

Definitely insulate / cover that hole well. I didn't do it right the first time and had a LOT of heat blasting up through the console.
