[quote=pnoye2;1241978]Try this (sturdy) approach B...

good job "pnoye2" looks Great! Just paint your hinges, and you look stock!

I'll be sure to do it that way if my method fails.

True value hardware... I was looking for some odd ball thread-pitch "bolt" for home project and came across it

does your lid hit the passenger side seat? this question is directed at everyone actually since i tried pnoye2's method and i ended up cracking the center piece trying to keep the lid open.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you ee ...center piece; you mean the plastic trim cover affix to the bottom of the lid cover?!?

no, i mean plastic part that holds the lid. it's all good tho. once i get a car-pc going (once i get everything else working like it should) i'll probably just throw the tower in between the seats anyways.

I'm still happy with it though. Now I got to do other parts of the dash to match.
