240Z: resurrected classics Center console vs OEM comparison (+ More stickers)

The 240Z / S30 Center console is in many cases broken or has been “modified” over the years, but until now there was no good replacement. At least not to my knowledge. JDM-Car-Parts had a limited run of hand made items, but they never reproduced them again. Since all of mine had a certain damage, i was always looking for a good replacement. After having being really happy with the Resurrected Classics front grille, i recently saw they now also released a Center console that fits my 1972 car, so i got myself one.

The overall shape and fitment seems very good. i found some smal, hardly noticeable imperfections, but then realized you’ll also find those on the OEM center consoles.

On the inside they’re stlightly different, mainly because the fastening points are made from reinforced, milled plastic bits, rather than small fastener-points, which often brake:

They claim that the material and pattern is like OEM, but it’s somewhat different. the rear one is the Resurrected Classics one and the front two are OEM. First of all the OEM are full had plastic, while the RC one seems to be some plastic, covered in some kind of vinyl. It feels soft, almost like a modern, slightly padded center console. And as you can see it’s pretty glossy, got some kind of blue-ish coloue touch and feels different.

The fact that it’s probably the only reproduction at the moment, makes it ovciously the best one, but i’m almost sure that soon another manufacturer will come up with a reproduction closer to OEM.
