PS2? a lil outdated isn't he? lol



So does using fleece help keep it from sticking to the wood? Does it matter what you use?

I've thought about it but I wonder how its mounted. Just use the mount points between the seats for the rear but what about the front?

My center console just rests between both my power buckets i pulled from an ext cab with arm rests... More then enough support. just make sure you measure right, i think i had 12 1/2 inches between my seats... the 40/20/40 seats have a little bit more room between them.

thats all mine does and yeah the ps2 is a little out dated but when it was made it wasnt, now it just fills the hole. the flece is used instead of fiberglass because you can strech it out over the mdf board then shape it by just pushing and sliding your hand to get the shape you want that you just spread the resin over it evenly as possible than you do the sanding and painting and you just leave the wood in it
