I know this is off topic for the thread I posted but. How many of you guys would like to see a set of map lights where they belong up front not behind your head? This is another project I've been toying with is building of a new map light and location for a small items tray right behind the visors. If they look good I would be willing to make them for us but I would charge enough to cover the expense of the build up and shipping. I would make it a very simple install for tapping the power in the headliner.
So what do you say guys and ladies?

Look up chris carr or i think his name on here is carraudio, he does some amazing stuff with molding and whatnot. He's usually in the Southwest forum, but I haven't seen too much of him lately, he's got a website and everything showing his work. Hope this helps.

IMO, you're not going to be able to create a center console that has what each person wants: - cupholders, yes/no - gauge pods, yes/no - higher armrest, yes/no - accessory tray, yes/no - etc. the list goes on and on. You're really better off taking orders and custom building them for each person.  Originally posted by Augi: post '97 console
FYI: "Pre-98" and "98+" are the terms used.

I bet you don't have a sunroof since you have a post 98 ...
as the pre 98s have the dome light and map lights up front at the leading edge of the headliner, the post 98 cars have the dome and map lights in the center of the roof but if you have a sunroof they are up front like the pre-98s. All mystiques have the rear dome light and therefor I believe have the front dome/lap light up front.

I'll take that advise, but my point of asking what people hate about our center console was to help me in making a new one for my car. I planned on showing with pics and a howto how it can be done.

My '98 has no sunroof, and my dome/map lights are up front between the visors. Maybe it was a 99+ change.
