I've been wanting the rear seat console prototype shown more than a year ago that never materialized.
I found this unit on Amazon for about $80.
Amazon.com: Wolf 38601003 Console Deluxe Benchseat Tan: Automotive
It fit the rear seat well but the color mismatch for my tan leather bugged me.
So, I decided to get it reupholstered. I got totally ripped off, I think, having never done this before (I paid a whopping $280!!!! after labour and material which was not even leather -- they had to order a yard in, and there was plenty left over) but nevertheless I'm pretty happy with the final result. The color isn't perfect but it's closer. This was taken tonight in the dark using the iphone flash, but the color difference rendition is pretty good. I'll take daylight pics tomorrow.
For safety, I added a few straps on the underside to guide the seatbelt through and prevent the unit from flying forward. If you look at the pics above, the unit is strapped into the seatbelt.
I do feel kinda silly for paying so much to reupholster a cheap $80 item, but I think this turned out pretty well. I'm sure if I had the patience I'd have found a cheaper shop to do the work. I will concede that the work was high quality, though.
The kids used it today for a 2 h road trip and liked the storage, drink holders and arm rest.
