haha glad i can help. now i cant answer your question as to where to get the console from. i have lurked the hell out of these forums and havent seen any LOOK At This types with a badass console. my guess is that a lot of people are either being tacky and using fake/sticker carbon fiber. orrrrr had the piece custom made/ made it themselves. however if you do find one and it isnt posted in this thread please do share with the community.

I think I know what your after nitro. I would look into redline goods and they use a material called faux-alcantara. Really high end cars like Ferrari's have that cloth interior even on the dash and i think that is real alcantara or some type of other cloth? I would research that. I think it would look sick in the TC interior if you do it right. For the record I just order some faux-alcantara shifter boots for my TC. Think it's going to look sick with Dr. Isotopes short shifter that I'm getting soon also. Should be a interesting project for you. Post pics if you when you figure it out, would definately like to see.

UPDATE: So this is what I got so far this week for the car. Dome lights were installed but the rest is in the mail. The handbrake I am trying to find out if it will be an issue to order. As if I need an adapter or anything for it.




I also ordered a carbon fiber boot for the shifter and one for the handbrake......not bad as a start I think. Anyone ever sewn their own steering wheel cover on? Im thinking of giving it a go so I can replace my steering wheel cover with one I can have embroidered. I gotta slightly adjust one of the red map lights. The one on the right but outside of that....Im digging all the new toys. Should look great after the reupholstery
