New center console

I just finished this mod yesterday, was pretty easy. I did the same thing on my old Cayman, so I was familiar with the process. (I used the DIY from planet-9 as the process is the same..)

I got the console, backseat coin tray, and the trim under the shifter all done in Arctic Silver (from Bumperplugs) to match the exterior. I'm contemplating doing the door finishers as well.

Did you use their core? Are you willing to share the entire cost? If not can you pm me. I am going to do this as well. Last do you have a link to the DIY?

Looks fantastic.

Look's better than the black but doesn't match the rest of the interior accents. Are you planning having the Alumalook pieces done in Arctic Silver to match ?

His other was blue, not black. It does match some accents. Personally I like the console, seat backs, etc, to match the car's exterior color. Silver seat belts would help set off more contrast (his his case).

Sure would be cool to have a matching console lid.

Yes, they sent me the new console & I am sending mine back for the core deposit. You WILL want to send it back given the price of the core.. Not sure what you mean by sharing the cost?

Here's a link to the procedure I used - it's from a Cayman-geared site, but the procedure is the same..
