Center Console and Guage Pod + ICE
 

Theres actually alot of empty space under the Center Console .

So the original Center Console was remove , cut , a Din holder was fabricated using Carbon fiber over the original plastic console.

The Pillar cover was also remove and modified to a Guage holder and Tweeter holder.

Original we had doubts doing it cos theres an Air bag behind the Pillar cover. but we found out that the airbag is only 1 inch at the top of the pillar, and the airbag will only eject downwards there for it would not cost any harm to the driver incase the airbag eject.

For those who wanted both rear boot space and would love to have a good sound system with woofer in the boot.

The problem is now solved.

Theres a "hole" of around 13cm deep in the car boot and this can be use to store a woofer. but the problem is most woofer in the market is very BIG.
We managed to find a Good Sound Quality high end woofer with only 99mm mount depth. and fabricate a Woofer box of 1cubic feet.

The only thing I had to forgo is my 4pts rear strut bar. we vertically mounted the AMP and capacitor and crossover on the wall of the rear seats. and change the 4pts struts to a 2pts one.

So theres no longer lack of boot space problem. not only can I fit a Baby pram (with extra space) inside I can also store an 18inch 225/45 tire in the boot.

may i noe how much did u spend for the centre console and e head unit? been wanting to change the head unit... but wonder how it cost... aniwei... it looks great and orginal

I do not know the actual cost. cos its make by my brother.

but according to him , the console can be make using Fibre glass and spray paint to the color u want too.

U can call him at 91000207 (ALAN)

ITs customise job, so for those who wanted the center console to change to a guage pod or a holder for any other device, it can be done too.

where's his work shop???? i might wanna drop by...

That is very nice Morgan.... nice pillar mount... your brother did that too ??

Yes he did everything.

He is good in custom and fabrication works. U should see his car. He can fabricate Carbon Fiber for most almost all parts of the car .

eg. (console, door, special box to fit the contours of the car. and many more.)

My brothers contact is listed in this threat, anyway I had pm u the number.

whats your driving vision with the TV staying up?
i found it is annoying.... but it is cool nonetheless

I use the LCD for my front and rear view camera during parking.
cos our car are consider quite low for most of the curbs during parking.

I bought a HDD recorder too and maybe going to install it to my car. so in case of accident or any who scratch my car or try to do anything funny to e car, I will have a video record of it.

Hi Morgan,

just wondering is your bro using pure carbon fibre, or its fibre glass with CF overlay sheet? no offence though~

ITs Carbon fiber overlay over Fibre Glass.

Since so many pm ans sms me asking me the price.

The Price of the Console is $750 (Carbon fiber) and $450 (Fiber glass excluding spray paint).
If u want pure carbon fiber it will be 3 times more around $2000+

The Pillar is $330.

According to my brother most of the items in the Market uses CF overlay. cos the cost is 3 times more for pure CF and most of the customers do not want to pay for that kind of price.

yes. personally, think no one in the right mind would pay for pure CF for such non-load bearing interior item. :crazy:

The Fiber glass acts as a support for the Carbon Fiber so that the whole item will be more rigid and strong.

Any way why do we want to buy a Carbon Fiber products, I believe its for the looks.
So I guess it does not matter whats under the Carbon Fiber. cos what we want is a beautiful Carbon Fiber top layer.

Hi Morgan,

do we need to past our console for your bro to cut or he have a mold already?

Regards
Eugene

Morgan....fantastic job on your car bro...must be a blast to drive, really top notch, well done!
