Talking Installed a center console

I saw other people on here doing a center console install and I liked the idea of having one so I went to a local junk yard and pulled out a center console and passenger seat off of a 2001 Ford Expedition. Loving it now! Gonna put some LEDs in it and hook them up to the interior lights also. Let me know what yall think.

Before:


After:


I also put a seat cover on the drivers side to match the passengers. The color of the Expedition that I took everything out of was tan so until I can either get the seats in to have them reupholstered or I can find some matching seats, the covers are staying on.

I got the center console and the seat for $60 at a junk yard. The paint was about $60 also. I have to go over the paint with another coat still and wet sand some of the parts but I'm impatient and wanted to get it in the truck to see what it would look like. So total I've spent about $120 to install it. I also got all of the brackets and the bolts from the junkyard so I didnt have to buy anything else to get it installed.

Just get seat covers like I did until you can get the seat chopped.

If I didn't have a 5 speed and a reg cab I would love to do this. Knowing me I'd spray the entire thing with bed liner. lol
