Really happy with the progress so far. Waiting for the glue to dry, and then on to fiberglass.

Most of the fiber glassing is done. Console is really starting to take shape. Really happy with it so far, I cant wait to fill it and see what it looks like when it's all finished. Still need to clean up a few areas though.

You can really see a few areas around the holes that need a little reworking.

A few more pieces came in the mail to finish off the center console modification. The Di Noc film was bent in shipping and hopefully will flatten out when applied with a heat gun. I'll post more photos later on.

I went with a external eq, and yes I know the head unit has one built in, because I like the idea of on the fly adjustability for the stereo.

Well unfortunately there aren't enough hours in the day to complete everything but its nearly done. I will have to wait until the weekend to finish wiring everything up. The Di Noc was annoying as all hell, and didn't work out exactly the way I wanted, but I think it turned out well enough for now. Here's a quick pic of today's progress.

I finalized the install on the center console about a week ago, and then decided to run a carbon fiber trim panel down the lower console as well. I'm extremely happy with the final turn out. Here's the pics of the final install.

Dude very nice head unit install. Probably the cleanest 08' I have ever seen.
