Console Question

Post by motorhead »

My 2011 PPV has the basic plastic bare bones console from the factory. I would like to install an armrest and cup holders. Really do not need anything for radios or light switches. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks.

Just one idea.... check this EBAY listing out.

If all you're after is cupholders & an armrest it seems like this could fit. The 9C3 console would be the hot setup (I'm assuming you've got a 9C1 car) but it takes a LOT of work to do the conversion.

Dan, if you get some spare time snap a pic or two of your install and post it up for us. A majority of the cars now being released are the 9C1 version without cupholders and arm rest, this might influence someone's decision to purchase or not purchase.

Thanks

Here's a couple angles of mine. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this console. Plus, it really looks like it belongs there.
