Restoring Center Console Lid
Made a little writeup for restoring those nasty center console lids. Out of the 4 or 5 FC's I've owned, 4 out of 5 had a messed up center console lid. So I fixed it!

Enjoy, feel free to make changes as you see fit. Anywhere on the site.

Thanks,
Micah

Well, that sounds all good and everything, but I like a nice clean stock look over interior decorations.

I didn't. I've never seen one where the vinyl was damaged. That vinyl is tough! But if yours is.. then, I say you take a visit to mazdatrix.com

My vinyl was pretty jacked up. Of course my bin itself ended up in about 15 pieces so I just threw it away...
