WOW. Very slick and classy! A GT3 shift lever/boot and e-brake would look sweet or aluminum/carbon e-brake.

Alright I bought a center console and am Ready to move forward on this project. Got a quote of 450 to do the job seems a little high?!? Is this about right or is my guy crazy?? I absolutly love the look in your car.

Thanks, $450 sounds high, I think around $200-300 is more reasonable

Looks good
Dont know if many places do it in the states but a cheaper way of getting a similar look would be to get the center 'flocked' , its the same process that they use on rally car dashboards to stop glare. Over here i would think a center console would cost about £20 to get flocked.
