Center console reworked Well after I get back from San Diego this piece will have a lot more relevance, but anyways here is what I've been working on.
and that big gapping hole at the front will be filled with this:
I'm pretty pleased with how this has come out, one of my students did the fiberglass work for me, he smoothed the ashtray(don't smoke) and smoothed the cup holder(always in my way, can't REALLY put a cup there in a M6 anyways) I think he did a kick *** job, and hopefully sometime after august, I'll be getting it wrapped in Carbon Fiber. The picture of the switch panel, is the final piece, it should hold (from left to right)Master Arming, Bottle Warmer, Line-Lock, Bottle Opener, E-Cutout, and Purge. I'm super psyched about getting it back and all together, thanks Danny and Jessie at the HorsePower House!

I like the switch panel, simply because I came up with that design, and it's not a cookie cutter cheap plastic piece, like some I've seen. eh, to each their own, that's not real good picture anyways, the face of it is finished in a machined swirl, looks much nicer in person. Thanks for the opinions, that's awesome kraaazymike, if I was in my car more than 3k miles a year, I might actually do the XM radio deal. Looks great though.

I was thinking of doing this but putting a touchpad for a mouse in the center where the ashtray is. I have a "cappuccino" computer thats the size of a VHS tape, and 7" motorized screen in the dash. Use the computer and win-amp or somthing similar to play all my music. I even have the voice recognition so I can just tell it what I want it to do. And for $50 I can have a USB GPS receiver!!
