I thought about doing that, but the theme of the interior is black and tan... tan trim with black middle.

Now all you need is a place for your portable, leaving it in the cupholder would eventually make me go crazy.

my xts3000 sits in the cupholder quite often and it drives me crazy for sure.


Looking good fellow New Hampshirite!

when I had another portable with a different dept, it came with a shoulder strap / holder which was slung around the headrest on the passenger seat. I need to get one for this radio along with a speaker mic... truthfully, i almost never my cupholders to hold... well... a cup. It is usually a collect-all for stuff, like cell phone, camera, HT, breath mints, etc...

I think its the "squared-off-ness" of the plates that I don't like... It clashes with the rounded corners of the interior... lol (yes, I'm fully aware of how weird I am... lol)


Still look pimp... :thumbsup:

Does this console still allow you to keep the factory center console? If so, I wish I had one of these when I had my console... its pretty sweet looking!

yup, it's a direct replacement for the top half. there are some pretty severe limitaitons in what you can put in there as there is really only one deep section, where I put the scanner. the remaining 3 sections aren't deep enough to put a full size scanner.

I love this. I wish I could done this with my 2003 tahoe. What does the rest of the truck look like?
