True story

Got some stuff today. Sub box. Console mounting bracket. Console lid cover. ( No the Katzkin set didn’t come with one) Rubber insert for console lid latch.

I painted the bracket flat black. Mounted the sub in the box. Swapped out the amp in The Beast so it has the 650w and this will have the 450w. Reassembled the console. Reupholstered the lid which was actually hard to do. I need to get a couple wrinkles out still but it looks pretty damn good overall.

I discovered the latch is broken so I’m ordering a new one but it came out pretty damn good for what I have into it. Without the $211 brushed metal cup holder I’m in this less than $100 thanks to LKQ.

Looking great!

OK so this is where they get you. That stupid latch is over $50 and they must be prone to breaking. I'm going to see if I can come up with some way to make it work. Hopefully better than the original.

I disassembled it and can see no way to attach a piece to replace the broken hook part. Gruven should make a replacement latch, it just pops in. I have it figured out though. There’s a 3rd party seller on Amazon with one that gets 1star because the mounting holes are wrong so everybody sends them back. Except one person who said in their review that they removed the hook part itself and popped it in their old latch assembly and it worked. I’m going to let that ****** company get one returned with my broken hook installed in their latch with holes in the wrong place because they deserve it, plus their product is worthless anyway. All I need is their hook.I call it Karma. They shouldn’t be selling a product they doesn’t work. I’ll be out nothing, and Amazon will back me up.

I want that pocket instead of a radio that's not used anymore...
