Looks great. While you have the shifter just sitting there, and it looks like you have some ability, why not cut about an inch and a half off the stock arm. Then retap the threads. My $.02.

I like it becuase of the little tray and the cupholders. It would be nice to keep the compartment on the top part to though.

I like it I need cup holders I wish they were next to the shifter where the ash trays are. I dont smoke so i could care less if they ash trays are gone. Think you can make something?

Thanks for all your kind words all. I Ran into a slight problem today, the cupholder inserts
I was going to use are 2 1/4" deep and well I made a slight miscalculation, I only have 1 1/2". So I need to rethink the inserts.
I would still like to think of something besides a sub for the back, it is looking bare. So while i rethink my inserts I'am going
to start on my shifter surround and radio enclosure. Again thanx for looking and commenting I appreciate the input.

I like how you stayed with the stock looking theme. Those round ones that some have made look great, but doesn't really match the rest of the interior. If the radio portion of the console was a single piece that mated up to the one pictured, that would look great! Maybe even leave it blank on the shifter area so it could be customized for auto/manual, or any other ideas someone could come up with.
If you can make these easy enough, maybe one without the cup holders at all?
I'll PM you my idea that I am working on.

I'd buy one...is there enough room to cut out and fit a 10" subwoofer on the upper part?
Let me know if you plan on selling them.
