Custom center console....
In the spring im going to make my own center console for my car.
Any idea on what type of material I should use?
I was thinking some type of plastic.. but I was also thinking about maybe playing with fiber glass…
Im going to be putting a CB, Power inverter, and maybe something else in it...
Just trying to get some ideas before I try this…

I have some Ideas in my head....
you could do something like a setup that is in a Cop car....you could use a stock Bonne Cener console and Modify it...it'd be really simple

You can make it however you want with fiberglass, but I don't recommend trying it if you have never worked with glass before. A center console might be biting off more than you can chew. If you are interested, PM me and I'll fill you in.

Fibrglass, there are tons of sites with fibreglass how to tips and because your doing the console later you could start with a few smaller things, pillar pod comes to mind?
