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…

fiberglass would be what I would use.

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

Yeah go with fibreglass, not sure how you would make it out of plastic.

i have always thought that brushed aluminum looked cool.... not really sure how to fit it, or where to get it... :?

Would get cold in the winter too, depending where you lived. :P

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?

yeah, thats why i was thinking of ding it with plastic or something...

but i might still try glass

But how does one mold plastic? Short of like fancy industrial injection molding or somethign.
