I decided to do some interior work on my car and wanted a new center console, the one before was basically a big box on the floor, and i didn't like the look. When i bought the car i got like half of a 2.0 console and used that as a template for one side and built the rest the way i wanted it to look. It is not complete yet but will be. I still need to put the led lights on either side and inside the little compartment, to give a little more light in the interior. I need to cover it in vinyl and get the thrid switch for the last hole. The switches will be used to turn the fuel pump on and turn the leds on as well, the third(i guess second since the middle switch will do this) will be used as a kill switch, i haven't decided on that yet either. What do you think?

i will probably have it done tomorrow, covered in vinyl, i bought the only two switches that AZ had so i am gonna find another AZ in town and buy it from them, i don't want mismatched switches. I was thinking of using some finishing washers on all the screws, might give it an interesting look and break up just the black vinyl. Thanks for the compliments everybody. The driver side was cut really short because of the foot room issue and gas pedal clearance. there is a little overhang on the drivers side when the console is in the car, but if i shift it over it just doens't look right, it matches up with the arm rest pad at the back really well with the overhang that when its moved over it just doesn't line up anymore. So the overhang stays and its something no one will really notice anyway, i don't want a show car just something that is fun to drive and i don't have to worry about when i park it!!
I also thought about removing the arm rest pad and putting in speakers that point upwards right there, my arm doesn't really rest there and i kind of want a couple more speakers in the car as well. The speaker enclosure would line up with the center console and look really nice, but not sure about having speakers where my passengers arms will sit!! Thanks again everybody for the compliments. Also gotta thank my grandma and grandpa(RIP papa, we miss you) for letting me use his awesome workshop and some of the extra plywood lying around the basement!! |
