[DML] SS Shift Plate / Console

["Dave Price" <davep2@xxxx>]

A SS Shift plate would do little for me (crappy automatic) but I'd love
to see the entire console piece redone... I think steel would be a
little much though, it would get real hot, and could reflect sun and be
very distracting. 

I think a nice contoured single-piece fiberglass section could be
created that would give the center console a sleek, flowing appearance,
rather than the 3-piece chunky look it has now.... This could probably
be done without removing any of the existing parts, simply a "cover" of
sorts... The armrest/ashtray/candy dish would probably have to be
removed because it sits too high, but the rest of the console has that
"cavity" that something a little cooler could fit into.... (and protect
the parts underneeth.. ) Yeah, that's the ticket, a console cover...
it's just an extra perk that it looks better than what's under it... ;)
I'd like to use fiberglass replacements for all of the
hard-vinyl-shrinkwrapped parts in the car.. they look old and tacky.
Especially the dash and rear-trim pieces... ick! Sorry, didn't mean to
ramble ... Anyone know a good fiberglasser in Oregon ? :)
