Thread: Starting Out

that looks great...

Thanks, I used JB Weld on the inside portion to hold the two pieces together and then bondo and some red putty to smoothen it out. I then threw about 3 coats of primer and plenty of wet sanding in between.

looks good, nice simple and clean job.

What do you plan to use to paint it with

ny interior has steel colored trim so I'm repainting everything an aluminum color so everything should still look factory

Looks nice! Why does every one go for the OEM look for though? I personally would rather have a custom piece stand out than have it look like it was done from the factory. Of course this is understandable if the center console is really the only thing you're modifying.

I always think that if you can do what you want and still keep things looking clean and flush then it would look great + I don't have tons of cash laying around to go all out... and I'm inpatient, I want to get this done so I can move on to the rest of the car

That makes a lot of sense, especially if you only have one car.
