there is no way to get a piece of abs plastic with tabs made that will fit this? It just looks like it's lacking something with that piece missing.

I would just fab a plastic cover and then buy some of that 3M stuff in burl wood to match your denali accents to cover that up.

I like Tim's idea of adding laminate to match the front of the cabin. You could also modify the cup holder insert with a plate to add the factory seat heater switches over the pencil pocket in front of the cup holders, covered with laminate as well. If you have the skills, or know someone that does, a panel to cover the console to floor gap and bracketry that wraps up the front to also cover the console opening, wrapped in laminate, would be super trick.

Always loved the rear captain chairs in a crew cab, you should definetly hook up the heaters on the seat

Thought about adding captain chairs to mine

Would really love to add the cooled seat function to my captain chairs but haven't seen anyone do it to an nbs

The problem here is you need perforated leather among a whole slew of other things... It would be expensive.

What do you mean by room? Foot room? Obviously I lost 1 seat but I don't think I lost any room.

They sit nice and flush. Can't recline obviously, but they recline enough to be comfortable for sure.

Yea I know what you mean it would definetly be expensive, my leather is in really good condition so that won't happen until my leather wears out and I find a shop that has done a few of them already

Yea sorry about that I ment leg room, hard to tell from the pictures

Wonder if I can find a second row captain chairs that match my 06 dark grey interior with heated seats like a denali second row seats

Would be nice to hook up the heated seats in the rear

But I don't know if they color would match correctly

They are literally the same bolt pattern as the bench... it was as easy as it could possibly have been.
