Well, a fellow member here, Andy, wanted me to post some pics of his car for him. He'll fill in below with details...

Where did you get the center console and what kind is it? Oh by the way the car looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!11 :D

Thanks to Butcher-X for posting the pics for me!

The console was purchased at Costco (Price Club). It's a standard van floor-type console that I purchased and used in my old Safari van. As per another member's advice, I flipped it around as the back became the front! I used the two long screws that came with the console and screwed it into the plastic Honda floor console. Unfortunately for some, if you drive a manual tranny you will no longer have access to the handbrake. I believe that in some states/provinces, this may be illegal. Here in Quebec, almost everything goes! What surprised me was the near perfect color match of the gray console to the E's interior.

not only illegal, you need it so you don't roll anywhere...

nice.

Where'd the gas-cap door go?

In my opinion, the handbrake is just that...a handbrake and not an emergency brake. Can you see yourself bending down in an emergency to grap hold of the handbrake?

The fuel filler door had some clear coat runs in it. My bodyshop guy removed it to re-sand and re-clear.

If you notice on the second picture (right-rear) of the car, you'll notice that the rear quarter panel texture does in fact look marred and dull as compared to the doors. If I took the picture any closer, you would be able to count the individual texture marks! Just kidding but it does in fact show up when you're closer to the car.

It's too bad you can't see my Hummer Lite badge below the E-badge.

I guess not if the handbrake is covered by a console!

Perhaps if you had longer arms like I do, you might just be able to!

Of all the pics i have seen of painted E's yours has to be the best ive seen so far......I like the way you left the lower cladding unpainted...which if i ever get the stones to do it is the way mine would be done.
