Default Center Console is finished!!!

Ive been working on this thing on and off for a few months and its finally done. I never have any time so I could only get in a little done at a time. I really liked the way it turned out. Love the floor shifter and the sub sounds great. Heres a few pics of the console. Its painted the same color as the putside of my truck.
Wat do you guys think?

That looks pretty sick, just fiberglass your dash to match and get some different seats! How did you go about fabbing that up by the way? You've got some talent!

I am going to put in some leather seats out of an 06 truck here pretty soon. The big flat areas are made out of MDF wood. The sloping areas i used aircraft fabric stretched over the corners then you glue them down. After it dries you put some heat to it and it srinks up and gets really tight. Once thats done you fiberglass the underside of the fabric..... its all very time consuming
