What are you doing with the EcoBoost Badges? Don't toss them! Let me know.
Not sure...they may find themselves to the highest bidder

Here's a center console mod I did a few weeks ago to organize the black hole we all have. I'm just putting the link so I don't have to load pictures again or retype everything. An update though, I have painted the railings and now it looks like they belong in the console.

Rails ~$6
Organizer ~$10-15
Screws found lying around
Spray paint was left over
Total: ~$20

Under 50 hm.. Maybe underglow, or interior led's, even a AM muffler if you're willing to go around 65-80 range.

I think the board I used was a 2x8 cut to 66". I can measure it tomorrow to be sure. I also have a spray bedliner and fits nice.


PM sent for the info on tunes.

Thank you but i cant take the credit -》 bulletsforfingers member created this, just wanted to pass the info on. It is a small piece of lexan (lowes), the cutter makes it very easy to cut. Just take your time. The piece I bought was able to make 2 plates. I removed the pocket with 4 screws from underneath the top of the console, outlined the lexan with a magic marker. Cut it down to size, paint the back with whatever (used plasti dip) before removing the front plastic protection. Sandwich between the top console and pocket.

Very easy to do taking time took a little over a hour.

Not sure if you've every seen hobby grade remote controlled cars, the bodies of those are lexan. Think of it as really thin plexiglass

Basically: super strong scratch resistant plastic.

Plexiglas, which is more common, is a brand name for acrylic. It can scratch easily, and while much tougher than glass, it can still be shattered, and is somewhat flexible.

Lean is a brand name for polycarbonate. It's tougher than acrylic: stiffer, more scratch resistant, and much harder to break. Thick versions of it are used as bullet proof glass.
