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?

If i were to make the precut kits i would leave it up the the buyer to cut the holes for speakers, shifter, switches, and gauges. I would make it look like mine with the compartment but the plates that have the gauges and switches would be flat without any holes, that would be left up to the buyer that way it won't look exactly like mine bc some people may not want switches as well as i blocked off the heater lever and some people prolly want that. Heres some more pictures, getting closer to the final product, the light is not permanently in there but i love the look of it!! The light will be put in there permanently but not right now!
Almost finished, you get the idea of what the finished product will look like!! Im loving it right now, but i didn't cut enough off the pieces for the vinyl, i should have cut off more, thought i had enough space. So the fit is really tight right now and may get worse tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) , i might have to recover the gauge plate and brackets (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . If i remove the vinyl and cut more off the sides of the brackets and then recover them so the fit is not as tight!!! Might finish it up tomorrow!!!
