I didn't appreciate my knee rubbing against the console constantly. Then i autocrossed and really wanted the additional room. Sucked up the $$ and got the GT3 kit. Looks great. LOTS of additional room where I needed it. Fab one yourself or buy the factory one. Either way, the legroom is appreciated.

a bruise is right under my knee, to the right, right lef of course.
it is padded, but once you wack it on there it really hurts...

i think that i can build all this for under 20 bux, so im not worried about the parts and all that.
i just cant seem to find the black carpeting, but i need some dimensions, and if i dont get any by the time i start building ill just go on my own and i wanted to document this as well, but i hope i get a new camera by then

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

-Pics, Prices, etc.. notice the "deleted" center console in front of the shifter, below the radio.

Enhances leg/knee room by providing about 6-8 inches more room.

Much more better!!

I have removed my upper center console in anticipation of receiving my GT3 console delete kit ($94 + shipping from Sunset Imports - they have to special order it so it takes about a month). At 6'2", my leg was not only rubbing but I had difficulty making right hand turns because my knee got in the way of my hand ( I am not exactly well coordinated). Pulled the parts, went for a drive, and the smile returned to my face. Highly recommended if you find the console confining. Really ugly until the parts come in.
