Custom Console Ideas...Thoughts?
 

Thanks to Finch I now have a spare center console trim and am planning to customize it some way. I might use the new one to practice on or what not.

Anyways, any ideas as to what I can do?

I am thinking of painting it, and maybe adding some of the flexible neon in a creative way. Or I was thinking of possibly (if wires are long enough etc...) switching around places, like maybe making the cd player sit where the hazzard button and clock currently sits. And what about fiberglassing? I know absolutely nothing about it other than it looks cool, so just wondering if its expenisve and if I could lay it over the current trim. I alsothought it would be SWEET if I could somehow make the whole thing, or parts of the trim clear then coat it with NiteShades and have lighting underneath!

Forgot,
If I paint it among other things, how should I do this? Ex: Surface prep, which paint....etc

What i have seen that looks good is a texture sheet (dont really know what its called, guessing) they make some that looks like carbonfiber you cut it out glue it down then clear coat over it to give it the 'glossy' appearence. I will try to get more info on it 4 u.

A flush mounted in-dash would be sexy. Loving the clear idea with lighting!
