Custom center console!!
I didn't read all of these, but has someone mentioned maybe fanning it out a little bit towards the A/C vents? You could mount a stereo right in there... (if you wanted too). That might be cool?!
Great job by the way!! :)
Well, I did actually. About a year ago I put in the 4-speed.... console wont cover the shifter...DOH! so I rebuilt the front half widened it and made some changes, but it went wrong from there. Made it functional but not very pretty. Had to remove one of the cup holders and make a boot for the shifter that was (ahem) custom made to center it in the car...great in theory but still had to deal with the modifications to the floor. AND on top of all that, something pulled on the wire to the lit shifter so it only kinda lights up now :(
It's been a while so something new is in order
SOOO, I'll be redoing the console in the near future, maybe this weekend if it gets to bugging me enough.
Great job! Just found this post.
Any updates? Add anything to the console up in front of the cup holders?
I was thinking it would be cool as hell to Router out a rectangle the size of an Ipod/Zune and install a docking connection in the hole. Be really neat to have the Mp3 player just under the radio mounted flush.
Well, I do have an mp3 player and the stereo I bought has 2 aux inputs, but plays mp3 straight from a disc, and a disc will hold well over 100 songs. I've really got no need to have 10,000 songs on tap by plugging one in unless I need 320 days of continuous tunes. :clock:
I haven't added anything there as of yet but stay tuned as the new hottness will have some upgrades...I'm not giving anything away but it WILL have an A/C vent in the back, a power port, and at least one cubbyhole.
I've also got some ideas that include brushed aluminum accents
Now finding room for all of that crap in something that doesn't build a wall between the front seats will be a challenge.
AND as always, I'll post up the pics on how messed up the inside will have to be to get things to fit, but I'll most likely start a new thread because it will be a 4-speed console.
