11.4" LCD monitor, 3 air guages, also installed a clarion vrx765vd indash dvd flip out. i need to finish the console by putting the grey piping btwn the side panels and the middle section. i'm planning to do that this weekend.

Looks awesome man, came out great!!!
One question, where did you mount the little AVS box?

[BigBlue35]

man that came out awesome! looks like you know what your doing. did you just staple the blanket all the way around to get it real tight and smooth?

[Blaze5509]

Damn. that looks good.
I love how it blends with the interior.


I need to get my ass some better friends...those lazy SOB's are good for nothing.

[01whiteoffroad]

the AVS central wire box is mounted under the dash on the driver side.

the suede is glued down, just as if you would suede a headliner or something. it took a while to get it to work right with all of those curves.

as for it blending with the interior...i actually think it doesnt go right now bc its the only thing suede. im planning to get katskins with suede inserts. i'm gonna suede a few more things inside, and i'm gonna paint the dash soon.(but not white)

I like the shape and style, you did a great job...hows the elbow height?

[Bradford]

I said it on GMFS and I'll say it again I think it looks sweet!

[01whiteoffroad]

...hows the elbow height?
perfect for me, i wanted it slightly lower than the stock one, so i made it accordingly.:smile:

[496-TKO]

Nice work!

[dabflyboy]

looks killer :worship:

[Jroc]

wow i'm very impressed.. Did you take any pics of just the framework before you put the fleece on it?

[Bradford]

Yes I would like to see some also.

[01whiteoffroad]

no i did not. sorry. i used 1/2" mdf and 1/4" mdf throughout the entire build with about 5 or 6 2x2 brace pieces btwn the two main side walls. it's sturdy as hell; i could stand on it.

[01whiteoffroad]

The edges are really nice looking where the materials meet. I was wondering what you did exactly? I would imagine you folded the dges when you glued, but just wondering if you did anything differently.

you are correct. also, this weekend or next, i'm pulling the side pieces back off and inserting a lighter shade of grey piping in the seems so it really finishes it off where they meet up instead of just having the gap.

[Bigdrumma22]

That looks awesome for a one day job. I'm assuming you had plans for it already and didn't just think it up on the spot?? As far as the shape, it's the most unique I've seen, and I can think of a nice other way to use it. That's a backseat F*** chair if you get your girl to lay over it:sheephump:hump: :naughty: Again, awesome job man.

[thekl0wn]

:LOL::LOL::LOL:

That looks saaaweeeet! Very good job!:head:

The first thing that came to mind was that it was a "ben'er over 'n' bang'er bench"!:sheephump

So I'm not the only one, huh? Just the first to admit it.

I thought it was obvious so it didn't need to be pointed out...of course you can benderov'r and banger on it...isn't that the whole point behind a custom console??:think:

[cwbigredz]

how did you attach the sides to the console. that wrap job on the suede is impressive work.:rocking:

How come you chose not to glass it?

[xanthan888]

Wow, Thats insane how nice that looks !

[01whiteoffroad]

very nice.

dont care for how flashy the painted ones look...not the look i was going for. and finger prints/smudges would bug the hell out me daily.

[seth350]

Looks awesome man! Your going to go make me spend money so I can make a custom console lol

That will be a project later on down the road, but Im like you, the whole fiberglass console thing dont do it for me, b/c of smuges and finger prints and stuff and scratches.

[Loudnfast91]

wow, that console is badass. its nice to see something a little different than the run-of-the-mill square consoles that one sees alot on the 'net.

[snaks911]

looks good!!!

[toostock]

that looks awesome

[reaper-97]

i agree with everyone looks killer and the suede perfect choice that's what i want in mine
great job

[Junkster]

If you were to do it again would you change anything? Do you like the way the Concave is on the top? Miss the storage area?

[Junkster]

p.s. that is soo sick btw...

[dayjayvw]
