Rear Center Console Build

I have been planning this mod for a while and finally got it completed. I not have real 2+2 Seating. The real reason for this mod was a place to put my rear heated seat and rear lumbar switches for the mods that i have added.

So i originally started with a mini console that honestly kinda of sucked

so that began the development of a full length center.

Started with a template of a front console

from the cardboard to the physical console

Because of the curvy shape i needed to add some length to make it match the existing console
Peeled the material back and made the first cut

Once the length was correct it was time to make the cuts to fit in into the car

Everything wrapped and the vents plus the 12V outlet fitted into the car

So this means the seat has to be cut...

and the cover has to be modified

Dang that is sweet. Makes the rear seats a lot more suitable for people

This dedication is astounding.

And you know what? There's always cats in my backseat asking me to plug in their iPhone for them while I'm weaving through traffic at 3,000mph in the driving rain at night during rush hour. Problem solved.
 
Really badass! I want to see what you did with the backrest part of the seat. Did you connect them above the console?
 


Thanks guys for all the comments....

The factory drop down armrest was a little wider than the added console. So I took the factory drop down armrest, sectioned it width wise so it got a little Narrower, Added foam, to the back rest portion so it fit around the console. The drop down armrest is used as a Plug, and is removable for the rear seat pass thru.
