Sign me up for a lock box for the bottom section of the center console! Looks like a great mod to add to the list!
 
I'm in for an accessory panel and a lock box.
 
I'm interested in a lock box in the lower part of the center console.
 
Wondering if one couldn't create a simple but tough lock box that lines the OEM lower console and uses the 4 bolts that attach to the body. You'd likely lose the area where if flares out to the sides, but I'd be all for a super stealth box with a lock or combo at the top. The hinge would be a problem with a recessed box so maybe just have the lid have a tongue on one side and the lock on the other, all recessed into the console. Wouldn't be Fort Knox, but you'd have to be pretty motivated. Definitely would prevent a smash-and-grab which is 99% of the risk.

Umm, you mean like the one I'm going to be making? :rolleyes:
 
Sorry I must have missed some of the thread! Carry on then!
 
Sorry...buddies car is in the shop and he is borrowing the 100. My 1999 console looks exactly like the one you have photos of.
 
My '01 looks like @Keowee 's...but I think we already knew that. I guess the question is whether they changed anything in '03.

Trying to remember what my friend's 07 console looks like, hers def has the changer in there....
 
@crimsonaudio has a 2003. Maybe he can compare his to the posted pics.
 
I'll be in Long Beach over the weekend. Don't know how long you'll need to look at it. I have a 2004 LC with the disc changer. I wouldn't mind losing the disc changer for a lock box. Maybe we can meet up depending on our schedules. I'm in for one.
 
That would be cool. I'm in West Hills so it's at least an hour from Long Beach on the weekends. I'm not sure how long I'll need. If the changer is still in then I will need to remove it to get better measurements. I'm thinking of maybe just doing just pouring a silicone mold inside of it so that I have something to pull measurements from. I need to think a little bit.
 
Interested in lower console lock box. The more secure and overbuilt the better IMO.
