Need a center console

[VIPER1996]

I need a center console and can't seem to find a perfect used one.

Someone put too much weight with their elbow or something and indented mine.

My car is a 2000 RT/10 with black interior.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Brett

Call Paul Scharf or look up viper.paul on Ebay. He has a bunch of stuff like that...normally for between $100-200. Not cheap, but not as bad as some parts are. He's a pleasure to deal with too; if you're not happy you can send the stuff back. I've bought things that I no longer needed and he refunded my money.

Thanks for the info, I checked it out and no luck. I found another guy on ebay that wants $450. Sounds a little steep but who knows?

I'll keep looking.

Yours is probably not dented but cracked which is very typical.
Depending on the severity, it is possible to save / repair it.

Shameless plug....If you join the VCA, you will gain access to our Illustrated Upgrades which will show you how to do this.

If you are able to find/purchase another one, there are a couple of ways to prevent this from happening again.

Without pictures...I don't know how bad the damage to your console is, but you might consider this...

Center Console Support Wedge

as a fix or maybe as insurance for your replacement.

Mine was cracked and I just glassed it from the backside.

Glad that I bought another for a spare when they were way less than 4 and a 1/2 bills.

I am pretty handy with fiberglass and thought I could remove and reinforce the underside to straighten it. The try a little heat from the heat gun and see what happens to take the wrinkles out. Just haven't taken the time to do it.

I will take a look at the member ship idea you brought up. I appreciate this forum and all the others I frequent.

I own a company that builds snowmobile dollies and lifts so I support a lot of the snowmobile forums. Makes sense for my business.

I'll do what I can to help out.

Is Daves Big Brakes still in business? I was thinking Jon B now has his business. If that is true, does he carry everything Dave had? (thought some of it, if not all of it, Dave had manufactured locally?)

Heat warped? ***?

I mean, I live in Texas and all my vehicles have non-heat warped interiors.

Some of these have more damage than others (if at all) but I was just showing you who the vendor is and that he does, in fact, have them:

If none of these work, you never know what he hasn't listed or has coming in. Give Paul a call (Don Scharf Auto)

We do have center consoles from $250 WITH MINOR EZ-FIX DAMAGE UNDER RADIO to excellent at $425

i gotta be the fattest viper owner around and mine isnt broke. how do you guys do this ?

 

[Joseph Houss]

An easier (and more comfortable) fix is to take it to an upholsterer. They'll match the grain AND the matte finish and as an added bonus you'll get a bit more cushioning for your elbow.

Not to say that if you want your Snake absolutely stock, you shouldn't find another stock console... but keep THAT one in the box... and keep the upholstered one as your "daily driver"

It looks amazing when complete:

 

[WOT!]

I have a spare one as well. I don't think I'll be needing it. I originally got to send out to MI for a custom interior while keeping my original stock pieces. Not going to do that project now. I also have a couple of kick (knee) panels.

I don't think mine is in mint condition. Not bad, just not mint. I haven't looked at in years.
