    Caution: Spare rim/tire with rear strut spacers

    Ideas for Center Console delete

    Hey guys, has anyone here with a 3rd gen considered getting rid of the center console to free up some space? Other than the cup holders and power sockets I don't really use it much and it would be great to be able to get to the back and out the passenger side without climbing. After looking...
