Getting Rid of the Center Console? Test Fit

Obviously not for everyone.

I did this for 3 reason - 1. unobstructed shifting. 2. Weight reduction. 3. Gutting car for racing.

My first impression was in made the area feel a lot bigger and unrestricted. Like I said it’s not for everyone and this car is for the track both drag and circuit racing.

BTW this mode is very easy to put back to normal.

Sweet! You can actually get to the usb ports while driving without breaking your arm in two places to get to it!

Curious about the weight of that thing compared to the normal console... Pretty sure you didn't remove that much weight there. If you eat a big burger before a drag race you might end up with the exact same weight that you started with!

bon appetit - Total weight difference was 9lbs. Enjoy your nine pounder burger.

The back seats, stock muffler, various inside panels, stock engine covers, exhaust manifold parts, passenger seat, skinnies (drag pac) etc it all adds up to make a huge difference. Just like adding a few HP from different mods - it all adds up, plus don’t worry I will visit the washroom before the race. Wink wink.

Lol, some may have to do some math to get that joke.

Do you even need a passenger seat? If just your weekend/drag car and so concerned about such little weight, that would be a nice chunk to get rid of along with the back seats, of course.

As far as the center console goes... Oof. But if it works for you, that's all that matters! haha

Can't do math on numbers you don't know! It amazes me how many people don't know the distance in feet...

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. Take all the seats out except for the driver seat for some weight reduction.

Interesting indeed. It would obviously be nicer if the carpet matched the factory, but the install is probably better than I could do lol.

I am actually looking into that, was not happy with the match. Trying to find the exact match. Like I said it’s my first test fit and can throw console back on in 15 mins. Version 2 coming up at a later date.
