flow through console conversion on 2013
I have read this and look forward to your complete write-up with the vents and power hooked up. I have a 2013 xlt as well, so I will let you break the ground and then simply follow your lead. I may be interested in the raptor switch panel. Do you have the switches with it too? You can just PM me.

update...
I took my truck to the guy who made my sub box to see about having the cubbies made of fiberglass... well, he had a whole new idea that I hadn't considered.
what he wants to do is utilize the raptor switch panel and create useable power points by splicing the wires. also, he wants to extend the usb+aux panel and place it in the empty space where the switches are. So... in the raptor portion, he will add the 2 "cigarette lighter" to the left of the panel and in the empty square bring through the usb + aux line. the usb line that will be added here, I am going to add the usb 2 point to. that way I can continue using my ipod on usb1 and have usb 2 available to whomever is riding with me.
the portion of the panel where the center shift will continue to get a fiberglass pocket.
Still awaiting parts but he is very motivated since it will be something to add to his portfolio of work he's done. I should have bulk of this completed by the 1st of the year. Write up will follow of course, however since I am not doing the fiberglass portion, others will have to seek out their own ideas...

good deal! i started mine as well... completed the left side. dropping my center piece off tomorrow for fiberglass then figuring out some other "tricks".
to be honest... I may forgo the vent adapter install. i messed with it and it has proven to be more of a nuisance than is probably worth. will keep you updated
