Talk about distracted driving. When I first looked at it I was thinking you would put vinyl on it, but you are going all out to make it look like molded plastic but stronger.

once you glass the console are you gonna do anything to the dash? Like smooth it out and blend them together to make it look like one piece.

^^^ I was thinking of it. However, I already see this will not be my last build. Im going through this getting a feeling for things and how I want them. I want new switches for my bar lights, compressor, cutouts and other accessories. But the switches I want are $10 each and thats from China. Here in the states they are more. They will be blue LED switches which means my OHD and IC have to get pulled out and converted to blue LEDs

I am thinking of replacing those plain black fans with blue LED fans and covering them with 5 1/4" speaker grilles to hide them. Thinking of doing some custom plexi or lexan templates and putting in there with LEDs on the side to light them up. Thinking of taking the Foxbox out and making my own and adding a third sub and second sub amp or maybe with the next console angling the rear end of the box down and adding a second touch screen there so the rear passengers can have some control. Thinking of glassing the doors and already bought LED strips to go under the truck (two 4' strips) as well as LEDs at the bottom of the door panels (two 2' for the front doors and two 1' for the rear doors). Also adding LED strips around the back side of the grill shell and still have to put my new custom grill I got from RubberFrog.

In my mind I have a thousand ideas and pictures and never enough money at one time to do it how i want or time to finish.

Gosh i need to hit the lotto

you could also ditch the back bench seat and get bucket seat. the extend the console all the way to the back and do a custom console/sub enclosure.

Thought about that too but I didnt know what kind of bucket seats as they all need to match (hardest thing with a QC). I thought I had remembered someone some time back putting in bucket seats in the rear and making custom brackets and mounts but I couldnt find a thread.
