hey all...
Just wanted all to see what I've been working on. This is just the preliminary stage for a dual cup holder design that would replace the upper half of the center console. So, you'll still utilize the lower main body of the center console which includes the arm rest and storage cubby.
My original intention was to get something close to the VX-O2 dual cup holder console. But because of the off-center e-brake handle of the stock VX, the symmetrical look wasn't going to happen. So, I decided to go with an assymetrical look. In addition, I raised the front edge to the same height as the shifter console as this will give it a cleaner and flushed look between the two pieces.
Also, I decided to have the cup holders cascade down vs. all in one level even plane to decrease the transition heights between the arm rest (top) height to the lower shifter console. Lastly, you will notice that I could only make room for the side mirror control and one switch button on the face. I tried three, but there wasn't much room for material in between to fasten each piece securely. This configuration isn't set in stone as I may try to experiment with getting another switch button on there during prototyping.
I'm still working on the small details like radius edges and things like that. But, the overall design is almost there. I'm going to have this blend in with a new shifter console cover that will have a new updated look as well. BTW, the half round trench on the left side is for the e-brake handle. I may have it extended forward into the shifter console as it overhangs into it a bit. Anyways, wanted to get your feedback in case I might have missed something.
ps. The two cup holders are standard which are removable for easy cleaning or painting if needed.
