I found a console with cup holders too. It's gray and I'm considering painting it black to match the interior. How would you go about painting it or were you lucky enough to find a matching console? Also how you considering mounting it? I might just space it in with some wood shims at the back and fab a brake at the front....

I went with the Novak motor mounts and the ax-15 transmission I bought all my stuff for this build from Novak. I will end up using the same spray paint that I used for the plastic molding for the center console also so it all matches there are tons of paints you can use for plastic trim and stuff just have to do the research and match the colors
