Center Console Part Deux

We kind of wanted to keep the original console that Lina and I made, but decided it would be better if it matched the new interior.  The interior guys said they couldn’t make anything better, so we ripped all of the instruments our and they re-skinned it with the new interior theme.

Here it is before installation.
