    Can I ask how much you got the console for and where? I am looking for one to compete my super comfortable stock interior conversion kit...

    sure man, I payed 120 even off a member on TW after posting a wanted ad. When you find the complete console, make sure you get the (3) metal brackets and all screws to mount it. The rear bracket is U-shaped and bolts to the side of the tunnel. The other two brackets bolt on top the tunnel near the cupholder assy.

    Instead of swapping the passenger weight sensor from the bench into the buckets, Im going to eliminate the weight sensor (which is merely a switch) with the OEM passenger airbag on/off switch and splice into the weight sensor wires. I've already bypassed the side curtain airbags with resistors.

    I noticed I can't put either seat all the way forward because I reused the bench seat buckles and it is tight between the console and seats, not a big deal though, have you noticed this too?

    UPDATE; I decided to use the correct female seatbelt buckles designed for the buckets seats. All i did was grind a tiny bit off the width on the stainless male bench buckle and it works great. Much cheaper than replacing the entire LH/RH belt assemblies. The bench seat buckle worked but it twisted at an odd angle and would not allow either seat to move freely due to binding between the center console and seats.
