this has really interested me for awhile. If you come up with something, I'd like to have one. My stock console broke into a million pieces, and I like the added room. But I would like an armrest/cupholder/holder for mirror controls, but slightly slimmer than stock, if that makes sense. I even thought of making one out of wood, and someone suggested to me ABS plastic.

maybe empty spots for if someone wants to add switches for accessories later? I don't know, but it seems to me that a lot of turbo cars have extra switches and stuff.
