Lightning seat swap (pics included)







I swapped the consoles over because i like the two cup holders, and it doesnt stick out past the back of the seat, and will clear my sub box better.

Original consoles locations:






Installed with console swapped over




Other notes, i had to run my own harness for the power seat track, no biggie tho, just a power and a ground.

I will start mocking up the console brackets on top of my sub box for the rear seat, with the left over original parts.

If i sell the bench, its gonna come without the center console because i am going to reuse it for my back seat. PM me an offer, i will probably let them go for cheap just to get them out of my way.

Rear already has buckets.... Im gonna look into fabric dye for the center sections and see if I can get them black like the L seats so they will match a little better.
