How is the quality? I have seen one seller warning of marks and dents in the vinyl. Id want it to be pretty darn near perfect on the top.

The center seat is not so bad, but they waste so much storage.

Did you move the airbag module?

The seat i had a little indention on the side. I had to really look for it. It was also alittle dirty in some areas but i scrubbed and the dirt came out. For the price i got it for it looked dang good. You cant even tell unless i pointed it out to you.

Yes the center seat was almost useless for me and I needed the storage space. It has unclutterred some of the small stuff that was floating in my back seat

There was not airbag module hooked up. The wiring you see in the pictures is the wiring connecter for the rear 12v outlet. They plug right in and out so it was a real quick and easy disconnect and rear connect

If I were going to a salvage yard to find the same console you used, what F150 model and years had your type of console? Of what to look for on ebay?

Thanks....

I have a 2005 and the one i bought came out of a 2007. I would assume that any late model f150 would fit. Only the f150 has this type of c onsole

Does anyone have the XLT console in a FX4? I am wondering how the grey on top matches up with the FX4 silver dash.

I used to, I even custom pianted it to match. Then I traded my truck in, and sold the XLT console thru the classifieds about two weeks ago. When they are bare and unpainted, they are two tone grey, not even close to the black and silver-grey on FX4's

One quick note! Just replaced my tan jump seat with a console today. In the 1st post where the pics say "Pull Here". You must pull straight up!! I tried to pull it out like a drawer. OOPS...
