With the glue dry, I set about installing it in the car.

After searching for an inexpensive used GT3 console delete, I decided to just make one.

Happy enough with the fit, I bought a roll of generic black interior carpet from Walmart, and used some Heavy Duty 3M Spray glue.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After searching for an inexpensive used GT3 console delete, I decided to just make one. It isn't shaped exactly like the OEM piece, but it does the job and I was happy with how it turned out. This is what I did if anyone is interested.
I started out with a removed center console, and I began roughing in the shape of the GT3 console in cardboard. I looked at a few pictures online and then eyeballed it to make the closest representation I could.
I decided to make my console out of sheet metal, so I got a piece of 24 gauge metal from the Home Depot Motorsports aisle, and broke out my trusty shears and rivet gun and went to work.
At this point I checked the fit and did a little fine tuning.
Happy enough with the fit, I bought a roll of generic black interior carpet from Walmart, and used some Heavy Duty 3M Spray glue. I discovered that my wife's hair pins were just the right thickness to hold the carpet against the metal while the tight edges dried.
With the glue dry, I set about installing it in the car. I ended up using some exposed local auto parts store hardware and attaching the console at the top and bottom. Maybe next time I would hide the screws, but they don't bother me too much.
I coupled this with the small plastic cover in front of the shifter that I purchased from ECS Tuning, and for a little more than $18 and a few hours of my time I have a "GT3-styled" Center Console Delete.
Nice job, looks great.
In the last picture, is the mat a relatively permanent fixture and do you drive with it over the accelerator pedal like that. I would be worried it would somehow cause the pedal to get stuck. Just an observation.
Good observation, and thanks for pointing that out. The mat got shuffled around a lot when I was crawling under the dash to mount that console. I keep the mat in there for really wet days so I don't soak the carpets. When driving the mat is thin enough that it sits left of the accelerator pedal. No stuck gas pedal or unintended acceleration yet, haha.
I was cleaning out the car this weekend and snapped a couple of cell phone pics of the console. Still holding up fine, and I am still glad I made the DIY version.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
