82-84 Firebird knee bolster guys, post some pics!
Finally found a minty knee bolster for my 83 'bird after searching for quite a while!
Now, I need to drill holes in my perfect black console. Needless to say... I want to do this as factory as possible.
Anyone who has one of these installed, please post any pics and angles you can! If anyone has a console pic with the bolster removed, BONUS!
Thanks guys!

aaron...Got an option the mount it if you dont want to drill into your perfect console
You could clean/degrease the backside of the bolster and console and apply some HD Velcro to it. IDK, just an idea

Thanks DD I held out for a while to find this one!
Bob, that's an idea, but the thought of sticky residue always scares me haha
Plus I'm very strict when it comes to keeping my car as original feeling as I can, even if adding stuff it never came with!

Sorry for the lower quantity pictures. If theres any other angles, etc, that you need let me know and I'll try to get it.
^^Closest the dash

Well thanks to transformula87's pics, I finally took the nervewracking step of drilling holes in my console! Pleased to say I'm very happy with the results. Wish it was a hair lower so it didn't touch the upper console, but not like I can do it again!

Too cool. I'd love to tackle that on my bird... some sequential LED's would be nice!
