Center Console Installed!

New center console installed...just need to order my shift boot from redline.




Lots of sanding, smoothing, cutting to fit the stereo, It was a TIGHT squeeze, getting it in because i didn't account for the little tabs on the edge of the stereo...also had to fab my own brackets to mount the stereo to the stock location..but looks and sound great...I've got Rockford Fosgates in front and Alpines in the back. I'll get a sub and amp in the next year or so; but, I finally have reliable tunes that look good!

yeah I used rustoleum rattle can...brushed aluminum I think is what the color was.
Cost me about $7 for the materials, and about 4 hours.

hahaha don't know if anyone else noticed this but his car is LHD in one picture and RHD in the other. I am am sure that the picture is just inverted. Just thought it was worth noting.

Looks good.

Yea, it is just inverted. You can tell by the gauge cluster. All the needles are facing the wrong direction.
