did some custom fiberglass work for my center console area… it was really ugly before with it just cut and open: ![http://2jzpower.com/pictures/Joel_Grannas/1993_sc300/th400_setup/IMG_0148%20(Medium).jpg](http://2jzpower.com/pictures/Joel_Grannas/1993_sc300/th400_setup/IMG_0148%20(Medium).jpg) process: fiberglass and duraglass ![http://2jzpower.com/pictures/Joel_Grannas/1993_sc300/center_console/IMG_1146%20(Medium).jpg](http://2jzpower.com/pictures/Joel_Grannas/1993_sc300/center_console/IMG_1146%20(Medium).jpg) ![http://2jzpower.com/pictures/Joel_Grannas/1993_sc300/center_console/IMG_1144%20(Medium).jpg](http://2jzpower.com/pictures/Joel_Grannas/1993_sc300/center_console/IMG_1144%20(Medium).jpg) i need to get a lighter shade of brown to match the steering column though.
