              Impressive creativity. If you would have stained the wood to be dark or made it out of black wood it would have complimented your interior very well. Never the less thats a good job.

                    Is that bottle not bothering your arm when changing gear?

                      I think that looks awesome. Get a wood steering wheel to match

                            i could, it should fit all the husco consoles because im pretty sure the plastic bases are all the same. it takes 2-3 days to make because of all the poly i applied.

                            we thought about staining it black but the cherry had too nice of a color, with the right wood and the right stain though, it would look killer.

                            i plan on having the original pad redone to match the car, this was a piece i had laying around. i do like how it sticks out a little bit though, kind of like a center piece.

                            its really comfy when you pull it out and rest your arm on it ;D

                            yeah the bottle does get in the way when it is fully extended but when the console is pushed back and the tray is only pulled out enough for a bottle or monster import (addicted) can it doesnt get too much in the way with the taller shift knob.

                            i will be keeping my momo, and having the original pad recovered to match.

                            hyundai tiburon seats believe it or not, they require bracket modifications but they are crazy comfortable and way more supportive than sport seats, also they come in a ton of different colors, cloth and leather combos of black/black, black/tan, black/red, tan/tan, and blue. i love them but they are only temporary once i decide on what fixed back seats i want and the roll cage is installed.



                            overall thanks guys i appreciate the compliments and inputs, i do agree it would fit perfect with a matching wheel and shift knob. i may give the whole console to a friend of mine if he buys a nardi wood wheel and wood knob for his black on black cabrio like he is planning.
