will look great, you could go into small business with some of the stuff you make im sure people would pay the right price, altho if you did that your car would loose its originality. i got some killer idea's for when i finally begin a nice CT build but im keeping them to my self for now, people will takes them ;|

yeah man have thought about it but decided against it cause....
1- for the time spent and materials used i would have to charge $1000 plus for just the console!! or its not worth it, better for me to just go to work
2- the originality aspect... nothing would be worse then turning up at a car show only to see two other cars with the same console, door trims etc.... so they are gonna stay one offs (unless someone else has the patience to build there own, then good luck to them)
