ok now i have a little dilema on the back portion should i have 2 or 3 cup holders, 2 looks out of place because there its quite a bit of room left and 3 leaves them pretty close but im loosing 2 cup holders by using this console so i think im gonna do 3 but what is your guys oppinions?

btw the cup holders will be like stock with the removable inserts

btw the lid is just there for reference, i was gonna use a stock lid but relized i couldnt because i made it wider then a stock one, so i will be making a lid to resemble the stock one but wider, which i hope you guys have relized that this is being made to resemble a stock console only this is for a regular dash but the console goes to the dash and is wider for a 12" sub

well the console does fit between the seats and belts but it is very snug which is what i wanted, no more stuff falling between the seat and the console, that and this will make you feel the bass a little more

12 inches will be plenty of room for the seatbelts. I know, I've been doing plenty of measurements for a similar project.

Im not telling you how to do your project but it would be really cool to put a screen in the back instead of cup holders
