It the local store doesn't have anything like that then I'll order some. I just got done facing up my cell phone/ tablet mount. It ain't pretty yet but I'll have a pic up tomorrow. It's to dark to take one now. I won't be glassing it any more. I'm much more comfortable/ skilled with bedliner, so as long as duplicolor doesn't break down the board then I'll be ok. And the cup holder I have in there now is just there until I can get some better ones. It just sucks I won't be able to cut out the switch panel or cup holders until Saturday

I second the baddass thing! the bedliner is a great idea too. Just fill in the seams & gaps with wood glue filler or body filler then sand it to the exact shape you want, then coat it in & out & you will be rolling in style. Cool project!

looks too cool. Im still doing mine but way too backed up on other projects for other guys right now to get back to mine. As for cup holders, i bought some stainless steel cup holders off ebay for pretty cheap. I still need to order two more.

these are some pics from last week that i forgot to post. sorry that they are sloppy, i dont even remember taking them(i think i was drunk lol) the console currently looks alot better. ive made/attached the storage area door. fabbed up a switch panel, fabbed up the cupholders, and done alot of sanding. im almost done with the body filler then it will be ready for paint(bedliner) ive picked out a kind of paint scheme that fits in well with the zombie theme i have going. hopefully ill be done by the end of the week
