it takes a real man to resist the urge to change it.

It looks great.
Could you share the image for "center console knee pad"?


I am not sure which part is that.


Thanks.

All of it is in the right place making for a much more comfortable drive.

Only small complaint, when I grab the e-brake for some fun, the backing/holder pops out. Like the new cover is a little short/tight. no a big deal as I don't powerslide/ebrake on the way to work, not every time anyway.

upgrades, all JPM;

- steering
- upper door Sill
- door armrest
- door speaker trim / Knee pad
- center console knee pad
- center console, complete
- ebrake boot
- shift boot
- console armrest (EU) covered by JPM.
- rear seat center armrest

Is the assembly coming loose from the center console or is the top ring of the brake boot coming loose from the handle? I would like to make sure that you are as happy with your interior as possible. Thank you!

Just back from Beijing, busy, busy. I would love to make a movie clip to show you but need some time to do it.

it's not a big problem. actually it is NO problem during normal, relaxed operation of the parking brake. only when I really yank on it..

actually, I like the head unit because it's so fast. you turn it on, it plays instantly.

I installed a Kenwood super unit in my Suburban, takes almost a minute to "boot up" really annoying.

That said, the OEM bass really sucks in this car. have to keep it set at 0.

correct.

I'm thinking of ordering one more with double padding, I'm 6'3" and my knees put pressure on these pads,more so during longer drives. can you guys do something like that? I'm thinking 10mm memory foam.

This is so true. I started out just wanting the knee pads and now have the gauge cluster hood, shift boot and E brake boot as well. It is most definitely a slippery slope...

that's right, it's so easy to swap out the old with the new + the look and feel so much better.

addictive. maybe should go to AA.

HI Andrew,


Thanks.


I was confusing with door speaker trim / "Knee pad" and thought


the pieces as below (I put one red arrow there).


That piece might can make center console more complete (extend more)


Thanks.

@Alabang 86 I will look into the options for a thicker pad based on the foam we have in our workshop.

@Csintuee Very true. I do not believe we have wrapped that piece at all.
