Re: Here's a simple solution to center speakers

More mocking up. Once I got the bottom tier done, I wrapped it in carpet that matched the carpet of the truck. I did it this way to minimize the look of the center console as a whole. I felt if the piece was all vinyl...it would look bulky and boxy...

Re: Here's a simple solution to center speakers

Covered bottom piece in carpet...started on the top section with the Ipad.

NOTE - The big Ipad was to big to fit so I ditched the idea in favor of a mini Ipad4...glad I did...as it wouldn't have been proportional

Re: Here's a simple solution to center speakers

Got stuck on ideas for the IPad piece, so I moved to the shifter surround piece for a while...

With the outlines of the shifter piece done, I nailed it together then wrapped it in fleece for resin...

Resin....

Test for fit...

Mock up with IPad Mini and check for fit again...(My son couldn't leave the IPad alone...playing Minecraft)

Re: Here's a simple solution to center speakers

Everything was looking good but then I realized than I was not going to be able to retain the jump seat. Too much of the electronics are in this console due to space limitations. And to keep the jumpseat, I would have had to remove all three seats just to change a fuse...

Bummer...I took a week off after this...
