So i bought this console a bit back and have been slowing working on it between kids and work. I have to put it on hold for a little while now that daughter starts school, work is wanting more ot. All i really need to do is color match lid leather and finish center lid button. Ill put it in the hoe in the morning. Heres what i got so far. Thanks to Monstar_est87 for providing the console and bowtiefreak for putting pics of his console up making me want one and posting pics of the center button. :Handshake:

It started like this (pics used from Monstar's post)

took disc changer out, fabbed little cubby out of some .100" carbon stock. Bonded together, did a little resin wipe, trimmed some edges. I wanted to take pics of the process, but since i did it at work couldnt bring my phone in classified area.

HONESTLY! MORE PICS OF THE PINK RIDE...SHIT LOOKS SLEEPER!

Your console is great! Honestly that button idea is awesome. On most center console that I find it is missing.

Your cubby is a great modification. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for it!

nice work. Question for you, cost to make another carbon pocket...or two? Seriously though that came out really well. If you'd ever make another pocket let me know.

@ Monstar_est87 - you did do a great job homie, and i set it in there with the grey, but really looked outta place. So i had to change it. You didnt know I was the outkast with tan.

@Donyukon - Ill get my install pics later today

@foreverfalcon40 - My daughter (7yrs) still wont ride the pinkie! My 3yr old son has no problem jumping on it though. I still have a little work on the button.

@bowtiefreak ill see what i can do about some pockets. I dont go back to work until tuesday thanks to the long weekend. But shouldnt be a problem to do something up.

Going to run some leds for the inside lights w/ a switch when opening. I need to run my USB input from head unit into the console so I can hook up a hard drive with movies and music. Still have to Fab something up for rear cup holder hinge. In the empty hole where the radio controls were I will be fitting a 7" screen. Still haven't decided what to do with switches - maybe some lights for the kids.
