    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








    Finally making the top plastics


    03+ Cupholder



    shifter plate for the heated seat switches and the lumbar switches




    and the 00-02 cupholder flipped around

    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.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Really badass! I want to see what you did with the backrest part of the seat. Did you connect them above the console?

    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.
