What center consoles have you guys got in your SFA's? between your seats and attached to your ceiling:

I made this one for my previous SFA. Had it in for a few weeks then they stole the car so I can't say I had a long time with it but it was nice so far.

Only thing I'd change is to make it longer (go past the gear levers) right to the front and make the box higher, it was too low for a proper armrest

No, it's a stock item .... was in the vehicle when I bought it. Not sure if it's standard OE for the SFA LTD but seem to think not - probably came from an IFS.
Either way it fits snugly .... only draw-back is that it does not have cup holders, just a small compartmentalised tray and a bin under the arm-rest lid. There's also a small tray at the rear for the back-seat passenger, but it's only about 140 x 60 mm and about 35mm deep. The two smaller compartments in the front could be used as cup holders but not ideal.

Never got a chance to put a floor in, they stole it before I got a chance. The next one will have a floor.
Basically cost me the price of the vinyl (about R40), the plywood I had lying around (an offcut from Timber City would be around R100). About 4-5 hours total. The longest/trickiest part was covering it, I don't have a staple gun which made it harder work. Definitely buying one for my next attempt.
