I have a Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and needed a center console because i couldn’t find the Havis police center console used for a good price. Its a metal Console Box, its pretty sturdy for the most part, the cup holders are kinda flimsy, you can adjust the cup holder arms for the size of your drinks but they do not stay in one place they spring back to the completely open position, the main compartment of the box is lockable, its very big inside and can fit plenty of stuff, in my case i keep paper work and a clipboard in there, theres a small compartment for a Stereo, the space is small in there so its going to be select for what stereo you put in there, i removed the welded sections in it so try to make room for my Siren box but it was still too small, so if you don’t want to put a stereo in there you can put some select Ham/CB radios in there, it does have a large hole in the bottom for wiring your stereo system, the arm rest pad is pretty nice and comfortable. I had a Havis Mounting plate that bolts to the seats so i drilled a few extra holes into the box and my Havis Mounting Plate and bought bolts that i wanted to use which i think was 4 inch long 1/4 in bolts and nuts, its pretty secure to the Havis Mounting Plate. It sits a little high in the crown vic but its still more comfortable than no Center console. If you are going to install this into a Crown Vic, you can either find or order a Havis Mounting plate or just place the box into the gab between the seats. It comes with really long mounting screws so if you feel comfortable with drilling into the center of your car you can bolt it that way. I didn’t feel comfortable doing that buts thats only my preference on how well i can do it, you may be able to do it better than i could. $110 i think it was worth it, especially dealing with not center console and no cup holders for a while. Warning some of you boxes will come with slightly chipped paint, mine did but it was inside the box so its not that big a deal for me.Fits goodI put one of these in my YJ Jeep years ago. I needed a certer console for a 2009 Chevy Impala Police Edition, I had found a used factory console but I took a chance & it's a perfect fit. The overall height is short about 2 inches because they don't take in account for the pad on top. Outstanding.When I first received the product, it looked great. Built sturdy and seemed like it would work well (despite the ridiculous cup holders). Immediately upon beginning to assemble it, using the very poor instructions:1) First step, easy enough, install the neoprene liner. Unfortunately it didn't really line up properly. It was a little too wide and not quite long enough to fit perfectly. No big deal, I just cut off the excess length and the small space that's uncovered is no big deal. But also noticed the precut holes (looks like they're mangled....not punched) didn't line up with the holes on the bottom of the console, meaning I had to cut new holes anyway. Why couldn't they save money on drilling holes in the wrong places and just let the customer cut them properly to fit? Maybe use the $ saved to get the size proper?2) Okay, no big deal on the neoprene. Second step is to install the seat belt holders for the sides. I'm very glad they included this. Great feature! First off, I notice I'm missing hardware and will have to contact support to get some for the other side. So I start installing the first side. I had to use an extra washer to get the cap nut to tighten down properly. Got one on....then the second cap nut literally fell apart the second I started tightening it. Same happened to the second. I'm missing the third.So now I'm two steps in and already run into two snags. Not looking forward to the rest of this installation. With just a little bit more effort, this would be a great product. Unfortunately, although the unit itself seems solid, the crappy hardware and poor instructions make it mediocre and frustrating. Tempted to give it 2 stars, but the price is right, so I guess you get what you pay for.Bottom line, if you want higher quality overall and less headaches, get the Tuffy. If you want a good bang for the buck and don't mind ordering more cheap hardware, or running to the store and buying some (let's face it, who wants to wait a week to get $0.35 in hardware?) then this is probably a good product.Just as theftproof as my friends 350$ Tuffy for about 1/4 the price. The only 2 complaints I have about it have been said before. If you're putting this in a Jeep YJ, it is going to be a TIGHT TIGHT squeeze. My friend has the 6.5 in Tuffy and it fits like a dream. Like goldylocks, Not to big not too small, jut right. But the SB is deff too tight. The seatbelts scratch the side of it when you fold the seat forward, but its a Jeep so the scratches arent out of place. Also, the lid kind of catches on the seats when you pull it up, but its not that big of a deal.One thing I like about this more than the tuffy is the arm rest pad. the tuffy is like a cheap feeling nylon pad on his, this is a rugged denim which I think is much better. Oh, and the price.Also the cupholders aren't great, but neither are the tuffys. Either way, its going to spill a little if you dont have a lid when you go over bumps SB or tuffy.Three things that arent as good as the tuffy: the locking mechanism isnt nearly as heavy duty, it about an inch wider than it needs to be, and it doesnt have a little coin holder shelf thingy inside of it like the tuffy has.But all that taken into consideration, there's no reason to get the tuffy for over 3x the price of this bad boy IMO. The width is the only reason I give this 4 of 5 stars.Fit my 95 YJ perfect, good solid console, especially for the price. Happy with my purchaseBásica, sencilla pero va con el medelo del jeep, ajusto a la perfección y es muy practica.La instalación me llevó unos 20 a 30 min. Solo hacer 4 perforaciones al suelo y listo.The part was likely old stock, the stripping was too dried out to use. Regardless, product was exactly as stated: a good fit, cheaper than other options, and just grind the cup holders off as they are completely useless.para ser un producto nuevo, el material es de primera calidad, sin embargo el acabado no lo es...exiten dobleces donde se notan como si solo estubieran punteados con soldadura,lo demas me gusto mucho el el material se ve muy fuerte y duraderoExcelente tiempo de entrega, la consola May funcional aunque hay que realizar adaptacion para su colocacionExcelente ajuste para mi cj7 modelo 85 el radio queda perfecto y en el mismo espacio añadí botones
