I think the amount of bright metal is slightly over powering but if you like it that is all that matters. I do also have one suggestion to tone things done and that would be to have the console powder coated and I think you would be all good then.

I wonder if diamond plate would work here in Florida. My guess is you would get 3rd degree burns! LOL.

I have a problem with plywood as a box material, but it is not for looks or for sealing. Particle board and MDF are not as deadly when you get rear ended. I have seen a plywood box fragment into some pretty sharp peices in an accident.

I think the diamond plate is a good idea.

Your car looks a little gaudy, but it is honestly just the color.

I'd say the drop the red and go black, or at least ger your console to black.

It is just a case of too much going on.

Think "less is more," or maybe get the diamond plate powder coated.

Overall, I say job well done even though it doesnt look the cleanest it looks the most threatening and bad ***.

I think its OK, but not really my style... I think it would look much better if you took out a little of the diamond plate. I suggest leaving the diamond plate on the floor, but either dump the diamond plate on the center console or paint it black. Just my opinion...

just remember, when running naws and racing on the street, make sure that your diamond plate is secured tightly or it will somehow break lose and blow off....
