Holy crap! $250.00 for a center console that isn't even perfect, and doesn't have the shifter boot... I just picked up a perfect one for $50.00 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) Whats up with the high prices lately?? If it stays this expensive, I wont be able to afford that slow VW... Center Console

I don't know why anyone would pay money for a built console. They are easy to build. I have done several and they look great. You can taylor them for any number of gauges, etc. Just cut it out of flat 1/4 plywood and cover it with vinyl, leather, or, naugahyde (yes you can kill at least three naugas for a console).

Call James (Morphenspectra) and be done with it. Good products. Good prices.

I'm glad to see the prices going up.

I used to sell these all day long at $150 a piece.

prices are not going to drop anytime soon...expect them to keep going up....just cause you got a good deal does not mean that is what the current price "should" be....consider yourself lucky....

Does that mean the cars are worth more and does the insurance adjustment need to go up?

I just made one this weekend, for a grand total of $12, plus the leather that will cover it. (I guess that makes it a sub-total)Attached Image
