should look nice are you going to paint the whole center console ?i did mine and i am wrapping mine in leather.

illl dye it back to the grey

I think its a cool idea, props for thinking outside the box on something alot of us have just "dealt with"

yeah hope it turns out nice

More picsss!!!

you got em

more pics!!

20 bux that thing looks like an elmer glue/ duck tape mess in about 12 hours.

what a luck i have a back up for you for 50 bux you can PM me for my pay pal account tom morning when you see what you've done

you lost me after what a luck i have

no dude do it right. if you make that work, and successfully put cupholders in there, and it looks clean, you have a business. haha

i wouldnt buy one, i just use the ebrake/seat deal cause i got other stuff to fix than that, but its a great idea.

hoping it will look clean

You don't have a cup holder between the e-brake and passenger seat on your fox?

well. yeah but i dont do that lol.


its ruff right now. i want to work it a little more and shape it some more.

Doesn't the plastic have some sort of texture to it? Your going to have to sand it all smooth i'm guessing? Looks pretty good though.

[ryan218]

Good idea.

 

[Coast2CoaStang]

If you plan on painting the console, you may want to try using this SEM product. You spray it on, and then sand it to achieve a factory grain. Then you can paint or dye however you wish.

Amazon.com: SEM Paints (SEM39853) TEXTURE COATING: Home Improvement

its nice b/c its your daily driver
.
You did a good job as well, alot better than I thought you would .


I just think it looks wrong, and to top it off it will look painted, i would have lived with plastic bottles and not drinking in the car.

 

[ryan218]

just something different. and the ash tray door was broken so why not i think ill be fine with it matching up.

 

[DocG]

Lookin good man!

it's going to be hard to replicate the grain of the plastic if your able to pull it off will be a pretty good feat.

I am not sure why you are so against this S & B...it's a great idea, and very useful for some who use the car as their daily driver...but the way you are talking its as if someone is converting a factory 4-eye 5.0 notch to aero nose and putting an LS1 in it...

Looking good Ryan, you seem to have good attention to detail so I think the finished product will be essentially what Ford SHOULD have done when designing the console.

S&B hates everything. Its his gimmick.

hrm. i might have to try this one day.

 

[1991notchbackLX]

i thought it was a good idea when i saw the other guy do it in the other thread, and i think it's a good idea now... replicating the texture of the factory plastic will be the toughest part, but well worth it in the end

just looks out of place, driving a mustang takes concentration. its not some fat american drive thru burger joint.

but how many times have you gone through the drive thru in your mustang and then they hand you the pop and your like or chit where am i gonna put this?
