510 center console

[vetteguy22]

I’m finishing up the interior on my 510 4 door and am wondering what others have used for a center console?

I am trying a center armrest rather than a large console. From Walmart and just fits between stock seats. It is supposed to arrive tomorrow and I'll let you know how it fits.

Looks interesting. Let me know how it goes. I am thinking I will want something that incorporates the shifter in it also though.

Here is the installed center armrest - all I wanted really and there is not much room between the seats. Getting the seat belts may be a problem if they fall back down on the floor.

 

Nice finish and very affordable from walmart. Additional storage area and a cup holder at the back, which may be awkward to reach. We'll live with it for a while and try it out on some trips - like Powerland !!

 

 

Holy smokes - only 9 weeks to get this finished.

That looks really nice. Like you said, the drink holder my be a bit tough to get to though.

I might be able to bring it forward a bit after I get the shifter bushings replaced. When I put the trans into reverse now, the shift lever is just 1/4" away from the console. I can live with the drink holder being a bit hard to use -- in my Audi wagon one of the cup holders is under the armrest and really tough to use.
