By the best and cheapest mod is a Magnetic phone mount, way sleeker and unassuming than the old style clamp mounts.

I was worried so I got some 3/4" ID tubing and put it on the pin. The pin is what is touching my truck.

well my guy said a can? gallon? pint? of magnetic metallic is 90$ so at least 100. he quoted me 200 to color match my chrome handles, fender scabs/badges, and mirror caps. I didn't buy the caps yet lol. i'm so cheap....

theres an online distributor that sells OEM paint colors in touch up and bigger quantities. I bought 2 cans of plastic adhesion promoter, 2 cans of nissan white color match, some cutting compound, and a can of clear for like 100$. I might look into that for this truck. I never used any of that paint on the nissan...I think i ended up using it on stupid projects lol. what a waste of money. I'll dig it up tomorrow and see if i can find the brand.

You say should be the same console, does that mean you haven't actually bought and installed one?

If you read the thread, you'll see that I don't have a console. Just word from others that they have used it.

I can tell you that its exactly the same console, just a shifter where your extra cup holders are.

It takes a little work to position it in, but it does fit.
