One of the forum members on another site had posted an aftermarket "buddy" console that was a nice piece and reasonably priced. I poked around their website and saw a custom console similar to the factory bucket seat manual transmission console, but it was for an automatic floor shift B-body.
Since I recently sold my bench seat after driving the week of Cruisin the Coast in my new Scat Procar bucket seats, knowing that I would never go back to the bench, I was wanting a console. I love the factory units, but they are pricey once you round up ALL of the components, and you have to ADD around $350-$500 for the Z shaped pistol grip shift lever!
So I worked with a prototype and here is the result. This works with the BENCH seat shift lever, and is the ideal console for anyone who changed from bench to buckets and wants a "custom" console.
The black rubber shift boot with chrome trim ring is going to match the look of mine beautifully.

My console:
You can choose from a spectrum of colors. The sides of mine are black carbon fiber, which I think will blend and transition nicely with the black floor carpet.
This console isn't on their website yet, but once I get it and install it, I am going to send them pictures to use to promote the product.
