Let me begin by saying that it is truly very cool that I am able to spend time with many of the GTs out there and in doing so twist and tweak a few of them.
When I was at the SoCal rally I not only met Kip Ewing; a truly wonderful person and craftsman but also saw what at that time was one his latest creations; the carbon fiber and leather center console storage cubby/armrest. For me it was a no brainer and immediately requested one from Kip.
Since that day I have likely installed more of these than anyone else and I have to share that it is IMO one of the coolest personal touch items out there. So much so that I just called Kip here on New Year's eve after installing yet another to share just how much I like them.
Now like most I was a bit anxious when I initially considered the idea of having to trim a hidden portion of the OEM magnesium console however after completing the first integration I never looked back. It is not only a compliment to the gal's interior but it serves a tremendous value within a gal that has so few places to tuck items away. The space with will easily house a wallet, a large bungle of keys, and glasses and then when closed appears as OEM in both style and fit. Then add to this when opened the highly finished carbon fiber perimeter matches/ties in with the carbon seat backs within the same area and the leather wrapped lid is as if OEM leather and even a slight more padding.
In a word "AWESOME"
"Thank you" Kip for a truly fine addition to an already stellar gal.
