Custom Console Created By Jumpseat Frustrations.. PICS

It looks like you kept the gray seat belts, right? I am looking at some headwaters seat covers for my truck and have been debating between black and gray. I have the stock gray seats and was worried the black seat covers would look horrible with the gray seatbelts and plastic trim. If I can at least paint the trim and replace the jumpseat, my issues diminish greatly. Do you have any more pics of the seat belts and the contracts between your black interior.
Oh and props on all of your DIY projects. You've got some skills my man.

Mmmmm... Suede... Make sure you write up a how to when you do it. I plan on doing the same thing eventually, along with a few other pieces for accents. Wouldn't mind seeing how the headliner is done.

thanks! it could, but I don't like fiberglass because u cant form the fiberglass itself.. if u want to make a curved panel with fiberglass u have to have a structure or a foam based shaped to the curve u want, and then lay the fiberglass over that. wayyy too much effort. I heated the ABS with a heat gun until it was limp, molded it into place and sprayed cold water on it. done. took 10 minutes per side for the lower filler panels

I spray it out of a 15$ harbor freight gun, but u can also brush it! we tried a few different glues over the years on me and my buddys cars, but this is the winner. I did my brothers Camaro with it. the hardest part of doing a headliner is dropping it out of the truck.. it takes some work.. after its out u lay you fabric over it, and start gluing and spreading, starting from the middle of one end and working your way to the other end. a heat gun comes in handy if a wrinkle forms. u might need a buddy to help u take it in and out

thanks man! this was definitely a little excessive.. but if you can come up with 300 bucks to get the regular non flow through console that Toddman has, DO IT. it feels so freaking good to be rid of the jumpseat. I spend 80% of my driving time alone, 15% with my girl or my brother passenger, and 5% with two people in the back headed to Vegas or something. there was no need for a 6th seat, and I don't want anyone that close to me anyways lol
