Total perfection from Eric @ bumperplugs.com

Had the pleasure of dealing with Eric while ordering my rear console painted in speed yellow. All I can say is WOW!!!! This thing is awesome. Totally changes the look of my former stark black interior... it's looks like melting gold. smooth, not a single imperfection... even the parts that are not visible are finished right! Don't hesitate to order from him and at $379!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The console it not that difficult to install (I have to do mine twice, long story, I won't bother with the details but be careful when you order handbrakes and check the stitch color... if the leather is black, the stitch should be dark grey, not black. Don't ask me how I know that!)



















Again kudos to my friend Eric @ bumperplugs and Steve @ suncoast for providing me with the shifter and handbrake.

Looks great!!!

+1 on how you mounted the iPhone. I just throw my iPod touch in the lower tray. I like your way better.

Thanks for the kind words...
The mount for the ipod touch (yes, it looks like an iphone on the pics) it's made a little ghetto since I didn't want to use the cumbersome mounts available today. It's actually a sucking mount that I bought at bed bath and beyond and a little thin "L" bracket that slides between the CD tray. Very solid and convenient. Once removed, there is no trace it was there.. (like mounting points, etc...)
The pedals I bought on ebay long time ago. Really nice for what I paid... (like $179)

For those asking, I have an actual iPhone mount in my car, and it's GREAT! I got it from ProClip (http://www.proclipusa.com/), and I had a similiar mount for my old iPod Mini. (You need to purchase the vehicle holder as well as the device holder)

It's a bit on the pricey side, but it looks 100% stock. I can take pictures if anyone needs 'em.

Joel: So L bracket with suction cup that you jam the metal tab in a groove then stick the touc to the suction cup right?

Trent: So many choices on that site. Care to identify the model you are running? Pics of your install would be great!

Thanks all!

you got that right. so simple and it holds forever. I don't know about the iphone and the suction cup, since the iphone has a beadblasted back case but the ipod touch is polished stainless steel. The "L" bracket you jam between the CD's tray.

Where did you get the mats?

Looks great BTW! I always thought about going with a SY console to go along with my wheel theme...

I still can believe the price of the center console. and the speed delivery. and how easy is to install. That console should've been $1000!!! (for what you are getting)
Also, I got the non smoking package, since the ashtray lid has a fame of breaking, I didn't want to go thru that with a painted product and later have to match it.
Such a happy camper!

The mats are track mats from rennline.com. Really nice and fits perfectly.
