Im really disgusted of the center console in my G35 coupe, i think they should of put more thought and time into it, but i want to change it, like just have a leather padding, instead of some plastic looking surface -_-

Has anyone had an idea to change it?

and is the center console removable from the seats ?

And how should i go about changing it to just a leather pad ?



I want it to go from this

lol have someone wrap it in leather....

 

ya i was thinking of doin it myself, ive reupholstered furniture before, its a 2 person job

1. to stretch the material tight,
2. and the other guy uses the stapler gun

:P. but do u know if the center console is attached or not to the seats, im sure it isnt, just want to double check

 

im prett sure its 1 whole solid thing...the center is attached to the bucket seats...if anything throw some thin padding over the top and upholster it, but if u do that u lose the place for your first aid kit thats under that cardboard thing in the middle

 

ya but i dont care , ill throw the 1st Aid kit in my cargo net, so im willing to give that up, i need to research if the seat is one whole solid thing and looking for leather shops.

 

That would be a unique idea, good luck with it...

My first aid kit has velcro on the back it so I attach it to the sides in my trunk...out of the way but within easy reach..

 

ya that is a good idea the piece is attached to the seat so it would be best to take the whole assembly out then work on it out of the car

 

SH*Treally, its attached to the seat, is it hard to take out the seat, do you know where there is a guide to show me how to take it out ?

 

lol bring it over to my house and we can work on it together....or i could go to your house....

 

hahah for sure, jsut need to find some time , and the material first . ill post u a heads up

 

ANYONE KNOW OF WHERE TO GET a 4x4 sheet of TAN WHEAT LEATHER ?!?!

 

super easy just pull up hard on the front its only 2 big clips

 

2 BIG CLIPS you say huh ? hmmmm thanks for the input

 

i've been thinking of doing this as well... i know the last post was from a year ago but any luck finishing it and do you have pics?

 

the rear center console is not attached to the seats as i have changed mine from stone color to black...took about 15 minutes for a first timer...you must first remove the entire bottom portion of the rear seats, once it is out look at the underneath side and you will see a metal bar that the console clips onto simply push it up and it will unclip....also try to PM rugrat as he customized a solid cushion like you are talking about as oppossed to the console
