building my own rear table!
hey guys im in the process of building my own rear table for my gs im currently waitin for more supplies i ordered online so its not quite finished yet but i figured i can start this thread to get opinions and comments before i finish and i'll post finished product asap
well i started by using foam insulation board from lowes to get the right shape i wanted and to kinda see it in the car to see how it fits ya know......i wanted to keep armrest usable since its comfortable and this is about luxury right? so why have a full wooden table that takes place of the armrest and turns the backseat to discomfort cuz you leaning on a wooden armrest
then i started to build what i could until more things come in and i was still thinking of other designs as i was building too
used 5/8 particle board for everything that will be wrapped with suede and used birch for the inside pieces thats gonna show cuz i was planning to stain and match woodgrain at first and then put thick clear glaze on top but now i ordered some 3m vinyl to match woodgrain to give that a try first
in front of the cupholder of armrest is a tray which will have leds under the plexiglass and between that and the vents from the front center console i will put a single cup holder for a big bottle but then i considered having a glass wine chiller to hold the bottle and put some LEDS hidded inside the cupholder to make the chiller glow as well not too sure yet on what route i will go on that part. and i have chrome trim for all the edges as well
sooo tell me what you think guys
