its always been an idea that i have going back over 4 years now. I wanted to do it in my 93, but never got it done. I got it now, plus i needed place to mount the heated seat switches and the rear lumbar switches

The Frayed edges were rolled to give it a finshed edge

Interesting! Though now it's effectively become a 4-passenger Bonneville :P

i don't know, i guess i just don't like it...

It just looks out of place for some reason.

That was my thought, it makes the car look crowded.

Maybe you can build something into the rear console like AUX input for the stereo or... something.

Something funny about seeing this and then reading Golden's sig. Thanks for the laugh guys.

Looking good Pat. Have you already mounted the switches etc, or are those in the future?

That looks just kinda... odd... I'd rather have rear bucket seats than a floor console with the bench seat.

But hey, if you're happy with it, that's what matters!

How does one rest an arm, on said armrest?

Rear center consoles go between two rear seats... ALA F body, RX-7 RX-8, 3kgt, Maybach, etc... Many of the ones in luxury cars don't take up leg room either..
